Now that I've gotten a little more "intellegent" with my knowledge of Linux, here are a few good commands to help those who are interested in what is "running" on there system, who is logged in on there system, and what "connections" are being "listened" to, and "established", on there systems:

ps -auxw
( to get a "top" listing of everything running on your system, services, programs, and "zombies", for all users )

netstat -natu
( to get a listing of "Active Internet connections (servers and established)" from your system )

rpcinfo -p
( to get a listing of all RPC processes from the portmapper, on the local system )

and lastly, from a friend,
users
( to get a list of all users currently logged in to your system )

Most of these commands have an associated man for them, and have additional command line switches for more information, or less, output - the man page will also explain a lot more of what the program "monitors", or outputs information for...

Hope, I do good, and no one else hasn't hit these before,
