What is Apache doing?

[hugh]

Is it possible to see what apache's doing at any given time in more details than using:

apachtop
mpstat
sar
ps -eo pcpu,pid,user,args ¦ sort -k 1 -r ¦ head -10

Every now and then I'm seeing one of it's processes climb to 100% CPU and I'd like to know what's behind it?

Thanks...

Hugh

mod_status [httpd.apache.org] may give you an idea about the requests being processed.
