The command "stress -c ${4}" is used to launch the "stress" program with a specific option.

The "stress" program is a tool designed to simulate high-stress system conditions for testing purposes. It allows the user to mimic heavy CPU, memory, and I/O loads on a system to test its stability, performance, or to study the behavior of certain applications under stressful conditions.

In this particular command, "-c" is an option flag that stands for "cpu" and is used to specifically stress the CPU of the system. The "${4}" denotes a variable that is likely meant to be substituted with a specific value. The variable could represent the number of CPU workers or threads that will be used to simulate the CPU stress.

Overall, this command is launching the "stress" program and instructing it to apply stress specifically on the CPU, with a certain number of CPU workers or threads (represented by the variable ${4}).
