command-line tool to start the distcc daemon and specify some options. Here is an explanation of the provided options:
--daemon
: Starts thedistccd
daemon in the background.--jobs ${4}

can process.${4}
is likely a placeholder for a command-line argument or a variable that should be replaced with a specific value.--nice ${5}
: Sets the "niceness" value for thedistccd
process. The niceness value determines the priority level of a process, where higher values indicate lower priority.${5}
is likely another placeholder for a command-line argument or a variable that should be replaced with a specific value.
Overall, this command starts the distccd
daemon as a background process with specific job and priority settings, specified by ${4}
and ${5}
respectively.
