One of the criticisms of "top" is that it clears the screen and you cannot turn this off. "top -b" works fairly well for this.

ah, thanks, I forgot about this. Although it doesn't quite do what I want: I want it to truncate to the screen (like normal top), and just print the next summary without clearing the screen. That way you'd use it like normal top, but in case you wanted scroll back it'd be there.
