I used a small cron job:

$ crontab -l
4 5 * * * /bin/ps aux | /bin/grep /usr/bin/mythbackend | /bin/grep -v
grep  >> ~/psmyth.txt

(all on one line)

This logs, every 24 hours, at 5:04 in the morning the ps aux line for
mythbackend.
This line shows real and virtual process sizes, % of real memory used, etc

(see the heading of `ps aux` and the man page)
