System call to different OS using Runtime Class in Java

Hi,

I use Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command) to make my system call.
For Windows based Dos, i add "cmd /c" before I type in my system
call. So for example make the system call "dir":
String command="cmd /c dir";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(command);

What is the equivalenr of cmd /c in Unix .

Thank you in advance.
