Writing running processes on text (OS X)

I need to write running processes on txt file without copy-paste.

I tried top> smthg.txt but because top function shows continuous variables on terminal, it continuosly write all changes on txt. How can I just fetch instant top information.

Solution

  • How about

    top -l 1 -ncols 8 > smthg.txt
