process information, similar to time but more info

[slavik]

was wondering if anyone know of something like time but that could also display maximum memory usage and such. like time but with memory.

does valgrind do this?

Valgrind is great for finding leaking, but simple "gprof" is good for profiling most Linux Code.

I constantly use the two together when needed.

I am looking for something that will work for interpreted code (shell scripts, perl, python, etc.) gprof works on compiled stuff (with -g) if I am correct.

A quick google search for "perl profiling" and "python profiling" came up with these links:

Devel:: DProf (http://search.cpan.org/~ilyaz/DProf-19990108/DProf.pm) (the space after the :: shouldn't be there, but without it I got a smiley)
http://docs.python.org/lib/profile.html

but I am looking for something that works the same way that time does, except also gather max memory usage.
