ADB Shell Improvements
The adb shell lacks many features we take for granted. There is a need for a little more functionality, this session will discuss this.
Possible Action Items from the discussion:
1. Integrate androidscreencast in LAVA.
2. Improve TCP/IP transport to handle disconnect and packet loss and upstream.
3. Add bash to Android and upstream.
4. Extend adb shell to be more bash like and upstream.

I think that it is more about toolbox/busybox to be integrated into Android images then about "adb shell" itself.

IMHO, essential on-device binary such as shell should not be complex, and we can always perform something through host side. Maybe, switching to mksh makes sense for this purpose.

I think getting toolbox/busybox into the default Android distro is useful. I'd also like to see about upstreaming some improvements to adb's shell itself.
