You'd have to give better example. Most likely the inner script returns the status of the last executed command. If the command of interest is not the last executed command, than you would store it ret=$? and make sure you exit "$ret".

NAME
PAPI_reset - Reset the hardware event counts in an event set. SYNOPSIS
Detailed Description @par C Prototype: int PAPI_reset( int EventSet ); @param EventSet an integer handle for a PAPI event set as created by PAPI_create_eventset @retval PAPI_OK @retval PAPI_ESYS A system or C library call failed inside PAPI, see the errno variable. @retval PAPI_ENOEVST The EventSet specified does not exist. PAPI_reset() zeroes the values of the counters contained in EventSet. This call assumes an initialized PAPI library and a properly added event set @par Example: int EventSet = PAPI_NULL; int Events[] = {PAPI_TOT_INS, PAPI_FP_OPS}; int ret; // Create an empty EventSet ret = PAPI_create_eventset(&EventSet); if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret); // Add two events to our EventSet ret = PAPI_add_events(EventSet, Events, 2); if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret); // Start counting ret = PAPI_start(EventSet); if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret); // Stop counting, ignore values ret = PAPI_stop(EventSet, NULL); if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret); // reset the counters in this EventSet ret = PAPI_reset(EventSet); if (ret != PAPI_OK) handle_error(ret); * See Also: PAPI_create_eventset Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for PAPI from the source code.
