A bash script that let's you issue adb commands to multiple devices at once

adb+

#!/bin/bash
# Script adb+
# Usage
# You can run any command adb provides on all your currently connected devices
# ./adb+ <command> is the equivalent of ./adb -s <serial number> <command>
#
# Examples
# ./adb+ version
# ./adb+ install apidemo.apk
# ./adb+ uninstall com.example.android.apis

adb devices | while read line
do
    if [ ! "$line" = "" ] && [ `echo $line | awk '{print $2}'` = "device" ]
    then
        device=`echo $line | awk '{print $1}'`
        echo "$device $@ ..."
        adb -s $device $@
    fi
done

Hi guys, how do I get started? Do I drop the file in platform-tools and it's ready to go? Simply use adb+ followed by commands?

shell commands do not work with multiple devices. Shell commands only hit the first device. Non shell commands, such as install, push and pull work fine on multiple devices

adb devices | awk 'NR>1{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -I% adb -s % install foo.apk

Thank you very much! Works perfectly fine, exactly what i was looking for.

@sivze You're right, this command does work perfectly. Thanks for the simple solution!

No script needed.
This command works perfect
adb devices | awk 'NR>1{print $1}' | xargs -n1 -I% adb -s % install foo.apk
