So that crontab will read my logic file all the time?

do you have a screenshot that shows what you mean by “dirty/filthy” ?

Yeah

58 10 * * fri

Every Friday surah Al-kahf file must be executed but I have 15 different files wich should run in sequence for every Friday.

each file on different Fridays

I mean you can write a script that handles it, and move the logic there instead of having multiple lines in the crontab file. so crontab would be then 1 line for this task, and the logic would be hidden in a script

examples:
ls | while read path; do echo “A new file: $path”; done
echo abcd | if [[ $RANDOM -gt 15000 ]]; then cat; else rev; fi | sed ‘s/./&n/g’

A real example I used it in (which made me think that this could be a good tip):
if geometry=$(slurp); then
grim -g “$geometry” –
else
output=$(swaymsg -t get_outputs -r | jq -r ‘.[] | select(.focused) | .name’)
grim -o “$output” –
fi | if [[ $1 == “-e” ]]; then
swappy -f – -o –
else
cat
fi | wl-copy

Two if statements piped into one another and finally into wl-copy

yep. you can always group things in {} in general beyond this too

you can do * for all days, or */3 for every three days

Tip: You can use all bash flow control statements similar to a command. Each statement has a stdin and a stdout which you can redirect, pipe, etc.

examples:
ls | while read path; do echo “A new file: $path”; done
echo abcd | if [[ $RANDOM -gt 15000 ]]; then cat; else rev; fi | sed ‘s/./&n/g’

grim -o “$output” –
fi | if [[ $1 == “-e” ]]; then
swappy -f – -o –
else
cat
fi | wl-copy

btw, i suggest telling wl-copy about the image type. i recently was on a system where it didn’t induce the mime type automatically
