You can use top in batch mode, -a sorts by memory, -d 20 updates every 20 seconds. adjust to your needs.

top -b -a -d 20 >> top.txt

If you are going to disconnect from the terminal, use nohup before top:

nohup top -b -a -d 20 >> top.txt

Hi all,

I am looking for a tool which let me monitor memory consumption per process on CentOS 5/6. The tool should be able to save its history so I could see what amount of memory was consumed yesterday/week ago/etc by each process. Can you recommend anything like that ?

Best regards P.

I think "atop" is close to what you need.
