This command is related to power management settings on a macOS system. It is using the "pmset" command with the "sudo" prefix, which allows executing it with administrative privileges.

The "pmset" command is used for managing power management settings, and the "repeat" argument specifies a recurring event. In this case, it configures the system to wake up at a specific time repeatedly.

The string "MTWRF" is an abbreviation representing days of the week (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) when the wake event should occur. The system will wake up at 09:00:00 (9:00 AM) on these specified days.

Overall, running this command with administrative privileges configures the system to repeat a wake event at 9:00 AM from Monday to Friday.
