In a terminal type:
top -bd 30 > topout.txt
which will cause top to run in batch mode and delay 30 seconds each time.
Nothing will show in the terminal. Press ^C when you want it to stop. You
could detach (&) the command but then it would be harder to stop, and new
terminal windows are easy to make. The file will have lots of copies of a
full top list, giving you some history to work from.
