top has a non-interactive, but always real-time mode. (man top)

what information precisely do you want ? you can write a shell script to
append the output of commands into a text file and have that mailed to
you (cronjobs), if you want regular information, or you can read out and
parse the files in /proc/ directly (top does nothing other).

if you want more, you can parse the output, compare it to a "database"
and have mailed only abnormal situations. i`m doing a modular
perl-script that contains some checks, but it`s still very very alpha
(and i don`t know yet if i`ll ever publish it).
