Yes, all applications should return a result code after finishing.
Usually 0 means success or no errors and anything else is some form of
error indicator. 

So also to be checked out from asterisk...

  -= Info about application 'System' =- 

[Synopsis]:
  Execute a system command

[Description]:
  System(command): Executes a command  by  using  system(). Returns -1 on
failure to execute the specified command. If  the command itself executes
but is in error, and if there exists a priority n + 101, where 'n' is the
priority of the current instance, then  the  channel  will  be  setup  to
continue at that priority level.  Otherwise, System returns 0.


>From the bash man page, but could probably be in any shell...
     exit [n]
              Cause the shell to exit with a status of n.  If n is
omitted, the exit status is that of the last command executed.  A trap
on EXIT is executed before the shell terminates.
