Although subprocess might be your best friend. os.system is still useful in somewhere, especially to the programmer play C/C++ mode.

Hence, the code will be below.

import os
try:
  os_cmd = 'wrongcommand'
  if os.system(os_cmd) != 0:
      raise Exception('wrongcommand does not exist')
except:
  print("command does not work")
