Is there a way to eliminate the bash shell in the spawn above?
Notice that the remote script is supplied as the STDIN to ssh.

Sure, there are ways ... They're probably going to be more

Is it enough to have Expect read each line of $JOBSCRIPT and
pass it to the spawned ssh? What kind of control do you have
over $JOBSCRIPT?
