The command Wait-Process is used to pause the script execution until a specified process finishes running or a timeout is reached.

In this particular command, -Name ${process_name} is used to specify the name of the process to wait for. The ${process_name} indicates that the value of the variable process_name should be used as the name of the process.

-Timeout ${30} specifies the maximum amount of time in seconds to wait for the process to complete. The ${30} signifies that the value of the variable 30 should be used as the timeout duration.

So, the overall purpose of this command is to wait for a specific process with the given name to finish running or until a timeout of 30 seconds is reached.
