title: How to Run Appium Server and Android Emulator in Parallel through Shell Script in Jenkins?
body: <p>I want to start Appium server for automated testing in Jenkins and start Emulator through commandline. When I start Appium through Appium start script in shell command in <code>jenkins build step</code>, Appium server initiates and run correctly.     </p>
  
  <p>But, the problem is I need to Initiate the Android Emulator by using same shell script. Since Appium server runs in background the next shell command to initiate the emulator does not affect and the jenkins build fails. So I need to run Appium server and Android Emulator in parallel through Shell Script in <code>Jenkins build step</code>.     </p>
  
  <p>Please provide solution to run both the scripts in parallel.</p>
