Sorry I left out the bash header. I am using Bash.

I have several load.sh scripts, and want to call them all from one test.sh script.
Each load.sh script calls a C++ function that returns an error code (0 means EXIT_SUCCESS).
Is there a way to pass the error code from C++ function, to load.sh, to test.sh?
And then test.sh use the returned error code in a conditional statement?

Thanks.

tests.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

if test ./load.sh ; then
    echo "0"
else
    echo "1"
fi

load.sh:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

return main

Code:
int main()
{
    return 1; //1 means EXIT_FAILURE
}

from command line:
Code:
$ g++ main.cpp -o main
$ ./tests.sh
0

I was expecting it to output "1".
