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?

My thoughts have been to first spawn() to a glue routine to get the local 
process and then to exec() to /bin/sh. Another way be to invoke a shell script 
making sure _BPX_SPAWN_SCRIPT=YES is present.


Maybe Kirk will be generous enough to share the "secret sauce" to the COZBATCH recipe :)
