Capture Top Output

How do I capture top command output in a file. I want the output to be appended and not overwritten.

Thanks,
allan

Re: Capture Top Output

Re: Capture Top Output

there is also a '-f' switch:

"-f filename Output is appended to filename. When -f is used, top defaults to 1 for -d and 16 for -n."
