To get the good picture of the Memory usage  I need to monitor the performance for about two weeks.     I am new to shell scripting.  Please help me to put together the script to capture the Memory counters and CPU usage for a single process.

Thank you

CPU: ps -ef

script it and run it from crontab.

Direct it  into one output file then just grep PID of the process which you are interested in.

In ps -ef you will see number of seconds (TIME column) which the process consumed on CPUs

Pavel,

           I still can not understand is how to supply the executable name to get PID for this particular process/program run.

Thank you
