This command is using the "stress" command-line tool to apply stress on the input/output (I/O) operations of a specific device.
Here is the breakdown of the command and its arguments:
- "stress": It is the command to initiate the stress testing.
- "-i ${2}": It specifies the device to apply stress on. "${2}" is a placeholder for the second command-line argument passed to the script or command where this "stress" command is being used. Therefore, the actual device name is provided by the user in the second argument.
- "-t ${5}": It sets the duration of the stress test in seconds. "${5}" is a placeholder for the fifth command-line argument passed to the script or command. So, the user needs to provide the duration of the test in seconds as the fifth argument.
Overall, this command will use the "stress" tool to apply stress on the specified device's I/O operations for the duration specified.
