The command "vmstat ${2} ${5}" is used to display various information about the system's virtual memory statistics. Here is a breakdown of the command:
- "vmstat" is the actual command that is executed. It stands for "virtual memory statistics" and is commonly found on Unix-like operating systems.
- "${2}" and "${5}" are command-line arguments that are passed to the "vmstat" command. The dollar sign ($) is used to access the value of the argument. In this case, the values of the 2nd and 5th command-line arguments will be substituted in place of "${2}" and "${5}" respectively.
By providing these arguments, the command will display specific columns of information from the virtual memory statistics.
It's important to note that the specific columns displayed may vary depending on the version and configuration of the "vmstat" command on the system.
