The command "dash -x ${path-to-script-sh}" is used to execute a shell script using the dash shell with the debugging mode enabled.
Here is a breakdown of the command:
-
"dash": This is the command to run the dash shell. Dash is a POSIX-compliant shell commonly found in Unix-like operating systems.
-
"-x": This is an option for the dash shell, which enables debugging mode. When this option is present, the shell will print each command it executes along with any expanded variables or substitutions.
-
"${path-to-script.sh}": This is the path to the shell script you want to execute. You need to replace "${path-to-script.sh}" with the actual path to the script file on your system.
By running this command, you can execute a shell script and see the detailed output of each command being executed, which can be helpful for understanding the script's behavior or troubleshooting any issues.
