Hi,

I encourage you to provide more info about how the C program gets called/executed to getting better feedback

Basically the thing is that you need to get some data back from the C program, I don't know how you calling it, if it's a daemon that accepts jobs or whatever. If it runs as a daemon you can do it via log files very easy, if you run it for every job, then you can do it also with logs storing the date you started and the one when it finishes.

Then for displaying purposes you can use any chart/plotting module

Take also a look to GTop for retrieving info about the running processes
