how to run binary in android without adb shell

Question

when you run a binary in adb shell, if you exit adb, then the process is over too.

So is there a way to run a binary without adb's help?

Answer 1

If you have busybox installed on your device, then you could use 'busybox nohup [your binary] &' command. This way it will keep running even after you close adb

Answer 2

This works for me:

sh -c "your-binary-or-command" &

Then you can exit the adb shell by pressing ctrl+D and it will continue to run.

You can kill it by going back into the adb shell then

kill -s KILL <PID>
