I would expect RootTools to spawn two shells and keep both processes running, 
but the second one does not start until the first is finished, unless i run 
them both with "command1 & command2" ... but i need them in two separate 
threads.

RootTools 2.2 on Android 4.1.1

So how are you trying to spawn the two shells?

We don't have this specific functionality atm. If you try to start two root 
shells then you still only get one root shell. However, you can start a root 
shell and a normal shell at the same time. 

I could look at offering this functionality in the future however.

yep i need to spawn two shells ... but i've solved writing a custom 
implementation of roottools, a minimal one, just to obtain root privileges and 
spawn commands :)

I think this is outside the scope of RootTools at the moment, it is something I 
will look at in the future but at the moment I think the need to spawn two 
shells at once and run them at the same time is very small.

Regardless, would you mind sharing the implementation that you wrote? We may 
take that into consideration and your implementation could be used to speed up 
the process of getting this implemented in a later version.
