i have used topas...but i need physical cpu utilisation also

Perhaps if you tell us more on your platform and OS version we could try to understand...
And more what is wrong with nmon?

Use vmstat and check for the PC and EC columns. They are well explained in the man page.

using nmon and then by pressing m i can get the details but i want to redirect the output of nmon to a file.

There is a very good man page on nmon on how to generate output files. You will need nmon_analyzer to display the outputs sensibly.
nmon_analyzer at developerworks

Why not redirect vmstat to a file if you only need this information.

0 0 * * * nmon -fTNWLA -I 0.001 -s 300 -c 288 -m /var/adm/nmon

This is what I have added to my crontab, it will capture nmon data every5 minutes for 24 hours. But it has it all. (CPU, Mem, disk, network, etc..,).

You can analyse it using nmon analyser.
