Thanks Kirk!
Using your _BPX_SHAREAS=MUST tip with __spawnp2() I was able to knock up
something similar to COZBATCH. While not anyway near as comprehensive it
does allow us to ship a batch job utility that can install a web server
from a PDS pax member using a script inspired by your Tomcat
installation comments. It was surprisingly easy using pipes and select()
as you suggested. It's mind boggling why the IBM utilities are so poor.

Yes, it uses getpwuid() to get your default shell.
But you can run any program with whatever options instead by using PARM=

Yes, and that's an issue for me. I want to use bash in my shell but
/bin/sh in COZBATCH so I can use DDnames. Are you getting the login shell
using getpwuid()?
Is there anyway to tell COZBATCH not to use the login shell? I can't see
anything in the reference so I suspect not.

You probably already know this but COZBATCH works just fine with bash. I
changed my default shell to bash and it works a treat.

That's a good excuse for a party! :)

I guess COZBATCH has left out /bin/login, and exec()s to the shell to

That's almost right, but COZBATCH uses spawn. By default it will run
the
user's shell as a "login" shell. The tricky part is that /bin/sh
has
a
sticky bit on, so to get a local spawn you have to use one of the
workarounds documented in BPX1SPN
What workaround?
