Logging Daily EDEX Users

To get a running log of who has accessed EDEX, you can create a short script.

The example below is a script that runs 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/edex/bin/edex users >> /home/awips/edex-users.log
    
  2. crontab -e

     0 20 * * * /home/awips/edexUsers.sh 1>> /dev/null 2>&1
