try on your machine

The command bash -c "${echo 'bash is executed'}" is used to execute a specified command or set of commands in the Bash shell.

Let's break down the command:

bash: This is the command to run the Bash shell.
-c: It is a flag used to specify the command to be executed.
${echo 'bash is executed'}: This is the command or set of commands to be executed within the Bash shell. In this case, it is using command substitution to execute the echo command and print the message 'bash is executed'.

When you run this command, it will start a new instance of the Bash shell and execute the specified command(s), which in this case will simply print the message 'bash is executed'.
