Sorry, you lost me.  If it's not Emacs who will interpret the command,
then it must be some real shell.  So are you talking about forcing
Emacs to run /bin/sh and nothing else?  If so, you can simply bind
shell-file-name to that (and maybe also bind shell-command-switch
accordingly).  Or am I (again) missing something?
