Memory Question

Where does Tomcat store the memory usage that it displays in the Server
Status under the Manager console?  I was thinking about writing a shell
script to keep track of the memory usage over time (such as the free memory,
total memory and max memory) and store it in a file.

Thanks,
Matt

Tomcat doesn't store that info - it's kept by the JVM; look at the java.lang.Runtime API spec.  More detailed heap information is also available via JVMTI and JMX.
