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

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 ?
