The command "sleep ${seconds}" is used in Unix-based systems to pause the execution of a script or command for a specified number of seconds.

Here's how it works:

• The keyword "sleep" is followed by the number of seconds (denoted as ${seconds}).
• ${seconds} is a placeholder that represents the actual value of seconds you want the script/command to sleep for.
• When this command is executed, the script or command temporarily stops its execution for the given time period. After the specified number of seconds has elapsed, the script/command resumes its execution.

For example, if you run the command "sleep 5", it will pause the execution for 5 seconds before continuing.
