On a unix host your commands are running without benefit of a shell.
You must provide the full path to the command.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("/bin/ls ")

On dos/windows platforms, 'dir' is a built-in function of the command line
shell, command.com/cmd.exe/whatever. Try this:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\command.com /c dir")
Question: Why are you using platform-specific stuff instead of
java.io.File.list()?

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
