OT: Top with history

Hi,

I thought would ask this here because it is kind of related with realtime audio/video

I have a video/audio threaded playback engine that runs for 24/7. The app is already running fine for the last 8 months but not yet officially released. The cpu usage is around 20-40% of the cpu on Dual 2ghz.
We do extensive logging of the playback speed of our playback engine, when the number of frames that are prerendered is getting low we log that info etc...
But, on one of our configurations we have drop frames/audio because during a period of a minute there is some heavy cpu usage. This thing happens like once or twice a week.
We disabled already the System Cron task like 'periodic daily/weekly/Monthly' Which i noticed is already disabled on Tiger.


On my own system I would use Top -u to see which process is taken all that cpu usage. But because this cpu usage peak is randomly I would like to have some kind of application that does something like Top -u and writes it every xx seconds to disk... so when realize later in the log files there were drop frames which process was using so much cpu time...

In case it doesn't exist any API's that you I should consider exploring to write my own app for logging this.

regards,

mvo
