Hi,
Can anyone tell me the easiest way to dynamically monitor (via a function
call) the memory utilisation of a particular process?
The memory information fields (code and data memory) reported by “sin -P
processname format m” do not appear to be contained in the _psinfo
structure.
The only way I can think of to do this (at the moment) is to make a
“system( )” call to a script file which would pipe the sin output into a
temporary file for subsequent manipulation.
Am I completely mad? Please tell me I’m missing some simple feature or
system call?

Go to www.parse.com/free and grab the source for sysmon. It monitors
top CPU and top memory usage – you’ll see how I did it
