catpure output of 'top' in a file

Code:
#!/bin/sh

echo `date +%F:%T` >> top.out

echo `top -n1` >> top.out
Hi all, i am trying to capture the output of the 'top' command in linux.

when i run the command manually, it works.

However, when i run it as a cronjob,the 'top' output is not being printed to the file,only the date is being printed. i have verified that the cron is working in the /var/log/cron file. any advise?

i found the mistake. i need to specify -b as as option to top.
Code:
top -b -n1
worked.
