Look into the System() dialplan application. It will execute a command on
the system for you. Be aware that it will execute it as the user your
Asterisk instance is running as, so permissions can sometimes be a bit
finicky to get correct. I do something similar to pop my gate open. It is
using nc to make a connection to the device, but same general idea as what
you are doing.
