I want to know what user the system is running a particular utility as.
The utility runs on demand within the mail system, and so is only
intermittent. I could run top and stare at the screen until it runs
again, and hope I have time to notice the user, but thats not much fun.

I guess I could write a script to run ps aux|grep processname every few
seconds and append the result to a file. 

Any more elegant ideas?
