Anybody is using a good Software to check the Server
CPanel comes with WebStats but it is not really freindly.
I am looking something that will alllow me to basically how the server is doing, amount of traffic, pages accessed, users online, etc
Ideas - suggestions
Thanks

To monitor things like load, memory, performance, disc space, kernal, devices / hardware and more from one screen you can check out phpsysinfo - there's a demo here.
To work out server load in php:
Code: php
$uptime = shell_exec("uptime");
You can then play with that to find out how long the server has been up, see overall load and work out avarage loads and so on.
As for the users online question, the PHP above will tell you about SSH users online or if you mean generic traffic you can do that with PHP and MySQL too. There are hundreds of options out there.
For pages accessed and more traffic stats I'd say go with Google Analytics, I know a few people here don't like it but Google knows loads more about your traffic so use it to find out what they know. There's also other cpanel stats available like awstats, analog and if you don't like those there's a host of free tracking / hit counter services like sitemeter out there or paid and self-hosted ones like mint stats.
When you say 'check the server' if you mean uptime there's threads about that here. I created a server uptime checking script some time back and have posted links to it here in the past, it's on php builder's forums
Loads of options, loads of answers but not a very well worded or specific question.
