Re: What's running on my server?
The simplest tool for watching processes is htop. You can install it with,
sudo apt-get install htop
The netstat command is useful for quick checks of connections,
sudo netstat -ntp
or
sudo netstat -lntp
(which shows what services are listening on what ports)
There are some other packages for monitoring traffic. eg. apachetop is apache top tool shows what connections apache is handling, and similarly for mytop for mysql connections.
The iptraf package is pretty good for keeping an eye on net traffic too.
There is a lot of other things out there and it just depends on what you need and the balance between logging/realtime and presentation.
