using grep we can extract the only matching 14th date only for every month
Example:
you can try with grep also.
That's insufficient. What if the job runs on the 14th minute of the hour, or the 14th hour of the day. Also, if a job runs on the 14th and 15th day and not only on the 14th? All of those situations will trigger false positives.

******* ./script.sh file fil2 > /dev/null
Is the above valid one?
Thanks
