Is there any way to show a kind of historical TOP. Basicly I run a lot of game servers, each under a different user account. This way i can see (with TOP) how much CPU each server (user) is using.

I need to track the CPU usage of each process over time though. TOP is great in that it gives me a "snapshot" every 5 seconds (or whever i press space etc). I need a kind of "graph though". Currently im resorting to writing down the process CPU usage every 5 seconds for about 10 mins then plotting my own graph!

I know there is a program called vtop (or somethingtop anyway) that shows the total CPU usage over time, can this be modified to show it per process as well?)

Thanks a lot in advance.
