1. write the bash script or program (you can execute programs too; I 
suggest creating a subdirectory in the /etc/asterisk directory...doug 
calls it 'local', I usually call it 'scripts'), debug it, make sure to 
'chmod 755 scriptname'.
2. Edit /etc/asterisk/rpt.conf.
3. Go to the [functionsxxxx] stanza for the node you're working with.  
Of, if you have just one function stanza, go there.
4. Insert a line, for instance:
85=cmd,/fully/qualified/path/to/script
5. save rpt.conf, restart asterisk.

Now, when you key up the node, and use *85,  that script will run.

It should be noted that functions are decoded using the least number of 
digits.  So, if you have:
8=cmd,somescript
81=cmd,somescript
811=cmd,somescript

which script gets executed is left as an exercise.

Really very simple and flexible.
