    It is not process accounting, but system accounting can be done relatively easy.
    Monitoring solution such as munin, xymon, nagios, incinga can be used for that.

    They use RoundRobinDatabases (rrd) for a multitude of metrics, cpu load is among them.
    e.g. xymon
    green : Xymon - trends status for static.88-198-16-79.clients.your-server.de (88.198.16.79) @ Fri Oct 28 21:32:56 2011
