Thanks.
My concern is more with whether top can accurately keep track of the actual memory used by my app. I read somewhere that it sometimes tracks what the memory manager reserves for that process instead of the actual memory used. In such cases, the memory used field often reflects a value higher than what is actually consumed by your app. Is there any truth to this?

Putting together a simple shell script does the logging part. That aside, your idea is correct.
