[feature request] the -n <int> option of top

[UnixJunkie]

Hello, top can be used in batch mode with the -n option: you specify how many screen refreshes you wan before top exits. And at the end, you see the last screen top was displaying. Such behavior would be cool for htop too. For example, I want to see the htop screen just once (and it should not disappear once htop has quit). Regards, F.

something similar was planned for #377.

Sure, have a look at the linked issue when working on this so the ideas from there can be included in this new feature.
