dash: Execute a specific script.
$ dash ${path-to-script-sh}
try on your machine

This command is using the "dash" command shell to execute a script located at the specified path: ${path-to-script-sh}.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "dash": It refers to the dash command shell, which is a lightweight and POSIX-compliant shell commonly used in Unix-like operating systems.
  • "${path-to-script-sh}": It represents the path to the script file that should be executed. The "${}" syntax is typically used to refer to variables in shell scripting, so it's likely that ${path-to-script-sh} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the script.

By running this command, the dash shell will execute the script located at the specified path, performing any instructions or operations coded within the script.
