xonsh: Run commands from a script file and then exit.

The command "xonsh ${path-to-script_file-xonsh}" is written in a format that is specific to the xonsh shell.

In xonsh, the "${path-to-script_file-xonsh}" is a special syntax called a substitution. It is used to substitute the value of a variable or an expression.

In this particular command, "${path-to-script_file-xonsh}" is being used to substitute the value of the variable "path-to-script_file-xonsh" with its actual value. The command suggests that "path-to-script_file-xonsh" is a variable containing the path to a script file written in xonsh.

Once the substitution is performed, the resulting command will be executed by xonsh. The purpose and outcome of executing the command depend on the specific script file referenced by the "path-to-script_file-xonsh" variable.
