sar: Report paging statistics, one per 5 seconds.

$ sar -B ${5}

try on your machine

The command "sar -B ${5}" is used to display the system's paging statistics using the "sar" (System Activity Reporter) tool with a specific option "-B" and a placeholder "${5}".

The "sar" command is commonly used in Unix-like operating systems to collect and report system activity information. By specifying the "-B" option, it instructs the command to display the paging statistics.

The "${5}" is a placeholder, which suggests that the command is expecting an argument to be provided at runtime. The value provided after the command is executed will replace "${5}". The specific purpose or meaning of "${5}" within your context is not clear from the provided information. It could represent a placeholder for a specific value or variable that the command expects to operate correctly.
