adb start(run) .apk that is in system/app

I am needing a way to start up an apk I have put into my system/app on a rooted device from adb. (In the shell or out of shell are both fine)

.apk is pushed onto device using adb.

I have found the way to do this if installed normally but that is not what I need as this app needs to be in system/app for permission reasons.

Can someone please help or point me in the right direction thanks.

Use the following command:

adb remount
adb push apkfilename /system/app
adb reboot

This will make that apk file as a system application.

After pushing to system, be sure to set permisions, then reboot device and launch from adb like any other app.

on reboot the system app will be "installed"
