Udo,

I use the following simple script to monitor the RSS (resident) and
VSZ (virtual) memory usage by mythbackend:

=== cut ===
#!/bin/bash

TIME=`/bin/date +%Y-%m-%d-%H%M`
CMD=`/bin/ps -C mythbackend -o rss=,vsz=`

echo "${TIME}: ${CMD}" >> /var/log/mythtv/memusage-mythbackend.log
=== cut ===

Nick
