The command "needrestart -c ${path-to-config}" is used to run the "needrestart" utility with a specified configuration file.

Here's an explanation of each component:

"needrestart" is a tool that helps in identifying running processes that require a restart after system updates. It checks for updated libraries, daemons, and other components that might be affected by the updates.
"-c" is an option/flag that specifies the configuration file to be used by needrestart. The "${path-to-config}" is a placeholder representing the actual path/location of the configuration file on your system.

By providing the path to a configuration file, you can customize the behavior of needrestart, such as adding or excluding certain processes from being monitored for restart.

To use the command, you should replace "${path-to-config}" with the actual path to the configuration file on your system and execute it in a terminal or command prompt.
