A server without some PHP functions activated [Question]

I recently installed Textpattern to use in a client website but at the moment to do the Diagnostics I realise that this PHP Functions are not activated:

shell, system_exec, mysql_pconnect, proc_close, proc_nice, proc_terminate, proc_get_status, escapeshellarg, escapeshellcmd

The website is running apparently without troubles, but I really would like to know if any of that Functions are truely necessary for TXP?
I’ve asked the hosting technical support and he said by email that as the site is in a shared host they can’t activate that PHP functions to keep security … is that right?

Thx in advance!

None of those are needed by TXP and it’s unlikely that any plugin would need them, so it’s okay.

Thanks for the quick response Ruud!
Im using zem_contact_reborn, upm_quicktags, upm_img_popper, upm_image, hpw_admincss, glx_admin_image and ajw_admin_workflow and everything seems to work well by now

Regards

By the way, I believe rss_admin_db_manager uses escapeshellcmd.
