sh: Execute a script.
$ sh ${path-to-script-sh}
try on your machine

This command executes a script file (with a .sh extension) using the sh (shell) command.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "sh": It is the command to invoke the shell interpreter.
  • "${path-to-script-sh}": It represents the path to the script file that you want to execute. In this command, the path should be provided to the exact location of the script file (e.g., /path/to/my_script.sh).

By running this command, the specified script file (${path-to-script-sh}) will be executed using the shell interpreter. The shell interpreter, sh, reads and executes the commands within the script file sequentially.

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.
