BOOTCHARTD(1) General Commands Manual BOOTCHARTD(1)NAME
bootchartd - collects process information, CPU statistics and disk usage statistics
SYNOPSIS
bootchartd [start|stop] [bootchart_init=INIT]
DESCRIPTION
bootchartd collects process information, CPU statistics and disk usage statistics from the /proc/ file system. The accumulated log file
may later be visualized using bootchart(1).
bootchartd is commonly used to profile the boot process for the purpose of speeding it up. In this case, it is started by the kernel as
the init process. This is configured by adding the init=/sbin/bootchartd option to the kernel command line -- either interactively or by
editing the bootloader's configuration file. Please refer to the documentation of your bootloader for details (e.g. lilo, grub or yaboot).
After bootchartd is initialized during the boot process, it will start the default init process (/sbin/init) to proceed with the regular
bootup. If, however, an alternative init process is used (e.g. (/sbin/initng), that process may be specified using the bootchart_init=INIT
kernel command line parameter.
Another possibility for using bootchartd is monitoring the resource usage of a specific application or the running system in general. In
this case, bootchartd is started interactively by running bootchartd start and stopped using bootchartd stop.

bootchartd.conf - configuration file for bootchartd
SYNOPSIS
/etc/bootchartd.conf
DESCRIPTION
bootchartd.conf contains configuration options for the bootchartd logger. The available options:
TMPFS_SIZE
If the root file system is not writable at startup, bootchartd mounts a hidden temporary file system in /mnt to store its log files.
This options controls the size of this file system. default: 32m
SAMPLE_PERIOD
Sampling period, in seconds. default: 0.2
PROCESS_ACCOUNTING
Whether to utilize BSD process accounting for a more accurate process tree. Note that the kernel needs to be configured to include
CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3. accton(8) from the GNU accounting utilities is also required. default: no
BOOTLOG_DEST
Log file tarball destination. default: /var/log/bootchart.tgz
AUTO_RENDER
Whether to automatically generate the boot chart once the boot logger completes. The boot chart will be generated in AUTO_REN-
DER_DIR. default: no
AUTO_RENDER_FORMAT
Image format to use for the auto-generated boot chart (choose between png, svg and eps). default: png
AUTO_RENDER_DIR
Output directory for auto-generated boot charts. default: /var/log

I'm trying to monitor the CPU usage of a process and output that value to a file or variable.

I am using iostat and /proc/<pid>/status to determine the disk usage per process. I have a question regarding buffer cache.
