Issuing Shell Commands
Adb provides an ash shell that you can use to run a variety of commands on an emulator
or device. The command binaries are stored in the file system of the emulator or device,
in this location:
/system/bin/...
You can use the shell command to issue commands, with or without entering the adb remote shell on the emulator/device.
To issue a single command without entering a remote shell, use the shell command like this:
adb [-d|-e|-s {<serialNumber>}] shell <shellCommand>
To drop into a remote shell on a emulator/device instance, use the shell command like this:
adb [-d|-e|-s {<serialNumber>}] shell
When you are ready to exit the remote shell, use CTRL+D or exit to end the shell session.
The sections below provide more information about shell commands that you can use.
