Sorry for the low mod_perl content, but if you are running Linux
and have X available on the network, it is fun to use 'lavaps'
which you can find with a search at www.freshmeat.net. It shows
processes as though they were in a lava lamp, with the size
corresponding to memory usage, the color and movement related
to activity. Besides being fun, it gives you a good feeling
for the relationship of the front/back end servers, database
backends, java servlets, and whatever else you might be running.
