ADB command fails and terminates program

Question

The following command failed and kills the program. Am I correct in understanding that the adb shell command attempts to launch the app?

adb shell "am start -S -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER -f 0x10200000 -n com.test.test"
Logcat terminated with code 0, signal null
UiAutomator exited
Error: Command failed: adb ...
/bin/sh: /path/to/adb No such file or directory

Are you able to get into the adb shell at all? Just do `adb shell` — Eric S., Feb 02 '16 at 18:01

Right, I do do that. However it's just in this instance it fails. I'm curious as to why. I do not have visual logs on what happened, just these text logs. — GregWringle, Feb 02 '16 at 19:08
