    Can you define load (Processor usage, RAM usage, total # of processes, etc.)

    Also, what program/method do you want to use to find this information? Command line, through PHP, or something else?

    You can also to a "top" command to see how many processes are running and which ones are causing the most bottleneck

    If you have a linux server then you can use "top -c" command via SSH to see the running processes on your linuxserver.

    In advance, use ps -auxf httpd (it will show you all the running httpd processes).

    You can kill unwanted processes using kill -9 processID
