Run adb shell on custom device

Question

I have several connected devices via adb :

> adb devices
List of devices attached
FA5BBBJ01013    device
00c95491829ca2a1        device

When I try to run shell :

> adb shell

it gives me error :

error: more than one device and emulator

How I can start shell on custom device without disconnecting other device?

try this one

adb -s 00c95491829ca2a1 shell

From this Documentation

If multiple emulator/device instances are running, you must specify a target instance when issuing adb commands. To do so, use the -s option in the commands. The usage for the -s option is:

adb -s <serialNumber> <command>

As shown, you specify the target instance for a command using its adb-assigned serial number. You can use the devices command to obtain the serial numbers of running emulator/device instances. For example:

adb -s emulator-5556 install helloWorld.apk

adb -s < serialNumber > shell

Serial number : FA5BBBJ01013 or 00c95491829ca2a1 depending on which one you want to run.
