Running and closing application for each monkey talk test method

From couple of days I was looking that each monkeyTalk automation script would run individually without affecting each other, It means that AUT (Application Under Test) at initial stage for each test. 
So I think that if I launch application before running test and closing after test execution, I will get solution.

After searching, I got some adb commands to launch and close installed application. Below commands are for the same:
To launch Application:

adb shell am start -n com.gorillalogic.monkeytalk.demo1/.RootActivity

To close application

adb shell am force-stop com.gorillalogic.monkeytalk.demo1

Where “com.gorillalogic.monkeytalk.demo1” is application package name.
