The reason for going through the shell is simply because users
demanded to have their shell profile evaluated if a command is
invoked.

With you solution /bin/sh -c must be prefixed into these
commands to have the same effect. I prefer the old way, even if
your spawn() simplification is less code.

Anyone disagrees?
