The command you provided is using the "mosh" utility to establish a remote terminal session with a specified remote host.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

"mosh": This is the command to initiate the remote terminal session using the mosh utility.
"--ssh="ssh -p ${2222}": This option is used to specify the SSH command that mosh should use for establishing the secure connection. In this case, it is set to "ssh -p ${2222}".
"ssh -p ${2222}": This part is the SSH command that mosh should use. It specifies that SSH is used for the secure connection. "-p ${2222}" is used to set the port number that SSH should use. In this case, ${2222} is a placeholder that likely should be replaced with the actual port number.
"${username}@${remote_host}": These variables should be replaced with the actual username and remote hostname or IP address. It specifies the user account and the remote host with which you want to establish the mosh session.

In summary, the command is using mosh to establish a remote terminal session using SSH with a specific port number, connecting to a specified username on a remote host.
