Here's a breakdown of the command:
mount
: It is the command used to mount file systems or directories in a Linux/Unix system.-o retry=${retries}
: This option specifies that retries should be attempted when connecting to the network shared directory. The${retries}
variable is expected to contain the number of retries to be attempted.\\${computer_name}\${share_name}
: This is the network path of the shared directory. Thecomputer_name
represents the name or IP address of the remote computer hosting the shared directory, andshare_name
is the name of the shared directory itself.${Z:}
: This specifies the mount point, i.e., the location on the local system where the network shared directory will be mounted. In this case,${Z:}
is used to refer to the Z drive.
To summarize, the command is attempting to mount a network shared directory from the specified computer and share name, retrying the connection a number of times if necessary, and mounting it on the Z drive of the current system.
