I'm also using an automated crawler that searches for new projects, making use of Shizuku across GitHub and several F-Droid repos. You can view the current auto-generated crawl report here: TODO.md.

Rish shell

rish is an Android executable (not an app) for interacting with a shell that runs on a high-elevated daemon process. For example, if Shizuku was launched using ADB privileges, then rish will also provide a shell that maintains ADB privileges.

To set up rish, open Shizuku, navigate to 'Use Shizuku in terminal apps', and follow the setup instructions. Please note that you need a basic understanding of shells, terminals, and essential commands to use this efficiently.

After rish is set up, you can use it together with any apps that support calling any shell script or executable, even if the app doesn't support Shizuku itself.

Note

Because rish's location is not in $PATH, you may need to specify the path to the executable to launch it manually. If it is located in your current working directory, use ./rish to launch it.

Syntax:

  • rish: Launch the default interactive shell (uses /system/bin/sh)
  • rish exec /path/to/custom/shell: Launch custom/alternative interactive shell
  • rish -c 'whoami': Execute shell command and exit once completed
  • echo 'whoami' | rish: Read shell command from stdin, execute it, and exit once completed

Note

whoami is used as an example and would return the name of the current shell user.

Usage examples:

  • Open an interactive ADB shell using a terminal emulator like Termux directly on your device
  • Trigger high-privilege ADB shell commands using automation apps like Tasker automatically in the background
    • Example: Command rish -c 'reboot' would reboot the device using Shizuku via the shell

The official rish documentation is available here: https://github.com/RikkaApps/Shizuku-API/blob/master/rish/README.md
