    You can use sysstat as suggested in the comments or stick with (probably installed already) top. Example from my system (you can of course grep out a specific field if needed):

    $ top -bn 1 | sed -n '3p'
%Cpu(s): 16.4 us,  3.1 sy,  0.0 ni, 79.0 id,  1.3 wa,  0.0 hi,  0.2 si,  0.0 st

    You can add the timestamp with date:

    $ date
Thu Nov  1 19:46:15 MSK 2012
