I'm surprised that you didn't have to specify the full path to the 'touch' command. When writing AGI scripts, I always do something like $touch = which( 'touch' ). I guess it's over kill. John

Turns out the script WAS executing, but I forgot that apparently you need to follow "cron rules" in any BASH scripts executed via System() from an Asterisk dialplan. E. g. all paths must be fully and absolutely specified, there are no relative path references available. So I changed the the file wireless.sh which was: #!/bin/bash touch wireless-executed to #!/bin/bash touch /root/wireless-executed and now if I phone 800 on my Asterisk context I can see that the file wireless-executed is created by the touch binary, which indicates that Asterisk has run the script successfully. So the problem was not Asterisk or BASH or permissions, but rather that it appears that all paths in any System() script must be absolutely, not relatively, specified. Hope this helps somebody - simply follow "cron rules" when writing Asterisk-callable BASH scripts which you plan to trigger via the System() Asterisk dialplan application.
