log files?

Hey all,
 
I am having some difficulties lately with my spearhead server. I need to run
'top' in batch mode and output the data to a log file so I can line up game
server issues with system demands. I believe this is done with the -b option
but do I need to specify the log file afterwards? For example:'top -s -b
toplog'    . And if so, is there a default logfile for 'top', or do I create
one?
 
Also, has anyone experienced crashes that seem related to CPU usage reaching
near max? As I've written recently, I believe my spearhead server is
crashing shortly after a major CPU spike for the spearhead process (from
around 50% to 98-99%). It usually happens during 'prime-time' (8-12 pm EST)
when the server is completely full. I have reduced the max players from 26
to 22 to see if this helps. I know my machine should easily handle 26
players (PIV 2 Ghz and 512 Mb ram 10 Mbit pipe)......
 
Any thoughts?

Luke
