This command sudo systemd-run

Here's a breakdown of the command structure:
sudo
: This is a command used to execute another command with administrative privileges. It allows the user to run commands as the superuser or another privileged user.systemd-run
: This is the command that executes the specified command as a transient systemd unit.--unit=${name}
: This option assigns a unique identifier or name to the transient unit. It can be used later to manage or inspect the unit.--description=${string}
: This option sets a brief description or name to the transient unit. It helps identify the purpose or function of the unit.${command}
: This is the command to be executed by systemd as a transient unit.${argument1 argument2 ---}
