David, - using bash interactively and /bin/sh otherwise seems like a reasonable approach.
(this makes me consider whether the COZBATCH default - to run the user's login shell - is problematic if this were popular) - I agree that change bash to use spawn looks extremely hard. Also, since bash is GNU / GPL, I believe that everyone who can download the Rocket z/OS port also has access to the source.
