Batch file to output performance data from Task Manager

[TechnoPro]

Simply put, there are metrics presented in the Performance tab of the Windows XP Task Manager that I would like to record. Specifically, I need Total Physical Memory, Total Commit Charge, and Peak Commit Charge.

A log is not required, since I just require the 3 numbers as a snapshot in time, and not a whole history. I can use the MEM command to output the Total Physical Memory, but the other 2 variables are eluding me.

Any ideas?

Task Manager, and Performance Monitor, get their information from the WMI. Actually, that may not be correct. PM definitely does. TM may go a layer down. But in any case the WMI objects are easily scriptable in VB, and shell script. So you can write a simple script that will open up the correct objects and simply poll them and log them out every so often. Here is a link to an article on scripting the WMI objects.
