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.
