almost 2 days of data:

# cat /home/udo/psmyth.txt
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
root      4203  7.2  9.1 393468 88688 ?        Ssl  16:34   4:27
root      4203  5.2 11.8 443152 115084 ?       Ssl  Jun23  39:17
root      4203  5.7 12.6 451428 122892 ?       Ssl  Jun23 126:25

(I removed the command line for readability)

One ps ran shortly after sytartup, next was the next morning and last
one was this morning.
