checking for return value from the system command in C

[Guest_imported]

In my C program I am calling a shell script using the system command.I want to get the return value of the shell script to check if the shell script completed successfully or not.

Can someone help me do that?

Thank you

you have to give the script an exit value.
exit 0 on succes and a value > 0 for an error
exit 1 or exit 5
