# Logging Daily EDEX Users

Create a short script to run once daily at 20 minutes after 00 UTC, appending each day's `edex users` list to a logfile `/home/awips/edex-users.log`.


1. `vi ~/edexUsers.sh`

        #!/bin/bash
        /awips2/tools/bin/edex users >> /home/awips/edex-users.log
        
2. `crontab -e`
