asterisk users - Mar 2015 - System() command refuses to execute bash script

Hi All

I'm using this extension to  try and get Asterisk 1.8.11.0 to run a bash
script:

exten=>802,n,System(/bin/sh -f /root/wireless.sh)

This file is

-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root   171 Mar  2 16:23 wireless.sh

e.g. root owns the file, and it has execute permissions for all users.

Asterisk runs as root as well.

Asterisk executes the command without any errors at max verbosity.

The file wireless.sh contains:

#!/bin/bash
touch wireless-executed

In my /root folder however, the file

wireless-executed

is never written - indicating the script does not execute, even though it is
owner by the same user asterisk runs as, and is world-executable.

How can I use System to run a bash script?

Thanks!

Regards

Stefan

Just to rule out some weird permissions issue, try to write the file to 
some directory that has full read/write permissions to everyone (eg 777). 
If the file can be written to that directory you probably have a 
permissions issue still. I run my asterisk under the asterisk user and 
have it kick of scripts that write to a folder on the system all the time. 
The folder has full permissions for the Asterisk user.

Give it a shot and see what you get.
