Answer 1

First you will need to write a shell script which execute loadavg and meminfo and add there output into your desired log file. Now you can get this script repeatedly executed by cron by setting up a cron task. To setup cron task you will need to add entry into /etc/crontab . For details you can consult man entries for cron and crontab.
