I see Samuel Huckins just had a post about apachetop http://dancingpenguinsoflight.com/2008/12/top-for-apache-activity/ which I have been meaning to mention for a while, but being that there is a fresh post about it I will mention Mytop instead.
Mytop is top for mysql. It can be used for monitoring the threads and overall performance of a MySQL.
Its an easy install in debain with a quick aptitude install mytop.
Here is some example output (sorry my mysql server isnt very busy atm).

Any idea what the package is for RHEL/CentOS? I looked for mysqltop, mytop, mtop, no dice. Looks pretty handy though.
I believe it is mytop. Found this http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=mytop
Thanks, Nick. I also ran into dependency issues though. Had great luck with the very similar utility, mtop, following the install steps here: http://www.ducea.com/2006/05/11/mtop-mysql-monitoring-tool-on-rhel/
