x11vnc: Launch a VNC server on the third display's default screen.

x11vnc

$ x11vnc -display :${2}

try on your machine

This command starts the x11vnc server, which allows you to remotely access and control the X Window System, using the specified display number.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

x11vnc is the name of the program that runs the VNC server for the X Window System.
-display is an option that specifies the X display to use.
:${2} is a variable representing the value of the second parameter passed to the command. In shell scripting, variables are denoted with the $ sign and the number represents the position of the parameter (starting from 1).

For example, if you run the command x11vnc -display :3, it will start the x11vnc server on display number 3. The value of ${2} will be replaced with the second parameter you provide when executing the command.
