I would also prefer to get the emulator l

I am running on Ubuntu and I modified Snicolas's answer and uploaded as Gist: https://gist.github.com/guneysus/410bb0e6b56d6f228555

The major differences are:

• Finding IP method is not worked on Ubuntu. I came with another work-around
• Defined devices in geny_devices.sh and source this file to pick VM easily:

```

# script geny_devices.sh

s3_43="e63063e8-a922-4832-8bcf-05362c3a1c9a"
nexus_44="45287ed9-2d5e-49a5-a0f9-82c29e7cc4b3"

# Samsung Galaxy S3 - 4.3 - API 18 - 720x1280" {e63063e8-a922-4832-8bcf-05362c3a1c9a}
# "Google Nexus 7 - 4.4.4 - API 19 - 800x1280" {45287ed9-2d5e-49a5-a0f9-82c29e7cc4b3}

#script geny_snap.sh
source geny_devices.sh
VM=${s3_43}

# Hopefully performance improvement ;) Not really necessary
# for in in {1..254}; 
#     do ping -c 192.168.56.$1 2&>1;
# done

MAC=`VBoxManage showvminfo ${VM} | grep MAC | awk -F ":" '{print $3}' | cut -c 2-13`
# echo "MAC is ${MAC}"

# On linux data returned from arp -a is like 
# ? (192.168.56.101) at 08:00:27:b0:7f:38 [ether] on vboxnet0
# ? (192.168.0.1) at 9e:a9:e4:d5:43:5b [ether] on eth2

# Find IP with 
IP=`arp -a | egrep vboxnet|grep -E -o  "([0-9]{1,3}[\.]){3}[0-9]{1,3}"`
# echo "IP is $IP"

IP=`echo $IP | cut -d "(" -f2 | cut -d ")" -f1`
# echo $IP|xclip
# echo -e "[OK] IP  \t:\t ${IP} 
# IP exported as global variable and to the clipboard."
echo $IP

# script geny_save.sh
source geny_devices.sh
VM=${s3_43}

echo "VM is \"$VM\""
VBoxManage snapshot $VM restore snap1 &

# script geny_start.sh
source geny_devices.sh
VM=${s3_43}

echo "VM is \"$VM\""
VBoxManage snapshot $VM restore snap1 &
VBoxHeadless -s $VM &

IP=`./geny_ip.sh`
echo ">>>>>>" $IP

adb tcpip 5555
adb connect $IP:5555

#restart adb as root to allow powering it off
#root mode is generally what we want from a headless emulator (to download emma files for instance)
adb root
adb connect $IP #:5555

#script geny_stop.sh 
IP=`./geny_ip.sh`

adb root
adb connect $IP:5555
adb shell reboot -p &

```
