Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Thanks druuna. Indeed having the configuration set as default is not desirable. The workaround would need to have a few extra steps, for example renaming the .toprc file to disable/enable it. A bit heavy but it should work

You could create a function to automate this (add to ~/.bashrc or appropriate file):
Code:
function topm () {
cp /home/<user>/.toprc.mem /home/<usr>/.toprc
top $@
rm /home/<user>/.toprc
}
The above assumes the presence of .toprc.mem (config file that orders by memory usage).
You can now run topm or topm -b -d2, using top will still behave as if there where no config file.
