Memory usage in real time

Is there any method for monitoring memory usage in real time? or approximately real time? I have seen the answer and code in the following link and I was wondering if it would be possible to execute the function monitor_memory_whos.m every second so I could understand how memory usage is changing as a simulation runs.
