The command is using the "sudo" command with the "ledctl" utility to set the behavior of the LED (Light-Emitting Diode) indicators on certain devices. LEDs are often used on computers or storage devices to indicate their operational status.

In this particular command, the "normal" parameter is being set for the LEDs. The value for "normal" is specified as "${-dev-sda,-dev-sdb,---}". The format of this value indicates a list of devices to apply the setting to.

However, the exact meaning and functionality of this command may depend on the specific system, utility, or configuration being used. Additional context or information about the system and its purpose would be helpful to provide a more detailed explanation.
