I guess many people wrote this kind of scripts already. But sometimes searching is more complicated than just writing a new one. 😅 If you know a keyword, please tell me.

This script should work with other commands. I use target/release/main because I want to test my program built from Rust's Cargo. I suppose other commands can replace target/release/main.

It logs memory usage in mem.tsv, so I should be able to plot a graph by LibreOffice Calc easily.
