The fixpart is a variable which is being assigned the value,

/etc/usr/transfer_script # transferring to a system

What the script does is it is adds an entry for the transfer_script to the mycron file with the desired frequency of execution.
Hi Shan,
That makes sense. Thanks. So now we have these two lines,

crontab -l | grep -v "transferring to a system" | grep -v "Auto deletion of transmitted objects" | grep -v "Dealing with not importable" > mycron
fixpart="/etc/usr/transfer_script # transferring to a system"

The only common thing is the text "transferring to a system". Does this mean that mycron consists of a job named "transferring to a system" which is executed by the transfer_script file ?

zgrep

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep	options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
