checking memory and cpu consumption of procs

[Dave Viner]

Hi,

Thanks for pointing me to check_vsz.  This is a really great utility.  From
looking at the usage message and the code itself, it looks to me like this
monitors virtual memory consumption.  Are there any hooks to monitor %cpu
consumption ?  Perhaps something like
	ps waxco 'vsz %cpu command'
?  I'm happy to try to add this in if it sounds useful.

Dave,

Take a look at check_vsz for the virtual size of memory usage on a process
level. I've put lot of functionality patches on sourceforge, so you'll need
to apply those.
