Memory and CPU Usage Script

For the first time, on OS X, I ran out of memory. Whilst Activity Monitor is good, it doesn’t really give you a way to log memory usage and trace areas that may be causing concern. So I googled the problem and discovered a LOT of answers involving php,ruby,awk,grep,pipes and a bunch of other stuff
