This command is composed of two parts: ${command} and ts.

${command}: It represents a placeholder for an actual command or a command variable. It is used to execute a specific command or series of commands. You need to replace ${command} with the desired command or variable before running it.
| ts: This is a pipe symbol (|) followed by the ts command. In Unix-like systems, the pipe symbol is used to redirect the output of one command to another. The ts command is a utility that adds a timestamp to each line of its input. It helps in tracking the timing of command output.

When you combine these two parts, the command ${command} | ts executes ${command} and passes its output to the ts command. The output of ${command} will be displayed with timestamps added by the ts command.
