You might want to try a new thread for each unrelated question. :)

>From the man page:
 -b : Batch mode operation
   Starts  top  in  'Batch mode', which could be useful for
   sending output from top to other programs or to a file.
   In this mode, top will not accept input and runs until 
   the iterations limit you've set with the '-n' 
   command-line option or until killed.

So something like top -b -n 1 will output one iteration and stop.
