This could be done quite simply by having the program itself tell the visualization what it is doing, but I want to be able to do this with any Java method/class and not just the ones I modify to do so. What I need is...

Hi, I want to know if there is an efficient solution to monitor a process resource consumption (cpu, memory, network bandwidth) in Linux. I want to write a daemon in C++ that does this monitoring for some given PIDs.
