mpstat: Display 5 reports, one by one, at 2 second intervals.
$ mpstat ${2} ${5}
try on your machine

The command "mpstat" is used to monitor and display CPU usage statistics on a Linux system.

The "${2}" and "${5}" are command-line arguments or parameters that can be passed to the mpstat command.

The values inside the curly braces refer to positional parameters or arguments. In this case, "${2}" represents the second argument passed to the script or command when it is executed, and "${5}" represents the fifth argument.

For example, if you run the command "mpstat ${2} ${5}", it would use the value of the second argument as a parameter for the mpstat command. The specific functionality and effect of using these parameters would depend on the mpstat command itself and its available options or flags.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
