A simple fork/exec of "ssh remote fossil" should work better than "ssh remote" and then sending "fossil\n" on the other end.
I just wonder that maybe you found situations where the 'fossil' command was not found in that case, and then you decided to go for the "ssh remote". This is only a misconfiguration of path; the PATH, for "ssh remote fossil" to work, has to be set in .bashrc and not .bash_profile.
