Run a command line while monitoring the memory consumption (using the file /proc/meminfo).
For example, this will run the command sleep 5 while measuring the memory consumption every 2 seconds and storing the
result in file /tmp/memdata.csv :
python memwatch.py -t 2 -o /tmp/memdata.csv "sleep 5"Note that this is the total memory consumption of the system, it will also be affected by other processes.
