Research direction

Locate the script entry point that spawns adb and inspect how it executes and disconnects the process. Research a Ruby 1.8.7-compatible system-command approach, then verify that the script can launch adb and disconnect successfully under that Ruby version.

Description

enhancement

The script fails on 1.8.7 when trying to spawn adb.
Look for a 1.8.7 friendly option to execute a system command and disconnect the process.
