| Most control panels, such as cPanel, come with the option to view Apache's server-status but if you're not using a control panel take a look at the following link:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_status.html
If you configure Apache for mod_status you can view how many connections are open, the bandwidth being used, and a bunch of other neat statistics.
Demo:
http://httpd.apache.org/server-status

| server-status does give me a lot of the information i want. but is there a way to get that data from the command line?

| If you're using Apache2, then apache-top would be useful as it's interactive and would obviously update in real time:

If you're using Apache1, then the only thing that comes to mind is to call the server-status manually via the following command:
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl status
