pscpug is a unix utility designed to graph a given process's CPU usage over time. Since you can see changes over time, it is often more useful than top for checking on a specific errant process.

pscpug only requires one argument—the process ID of the program you're interested in. More info is layed out in the included readme.

Limitations:
At this point, pscpug is only expected to run on BSD and Linux flavors. Feel free to try to build and run it on other unix-like OSes, however, the program may simply not work at all.
If you make a command line argument such as -w 0, you'll notice that pscpug will run really fast. It will also eat lots of CPU time. This is probably a feature.
If you run pscpug on a dumb terminal, there will be upsettingly little information about the process.

What's New in This Release:
pscpug now drops setuid/setgid privileges when they are unnecessary.
