You can use the simplest Linux command:
top -c
will show all the processes running on your server.

ps aux | head -1; ps aux | sort -rn +2 | head -10
will show top CPU consuming processes

ps aux | head -1; ps aux | sort -rn +3 | head
will show Memory consuming processes

i usually enable ExtendedStatus On on httpd.conf and do a print screen on http://ip-address/httpd-status. if the client use all the resources in http, then alot of his/her domain is show on the list. Just do a print screen and send to your client.

This is why it pays not to use unlimited account features and to set reasonable limitations.

thanks dannygoh for posting about http-status, I will be doing this later

EDIT: just got the status stuff enabled mmm next question is how to add a bit of protection onto this so everyone cannot see this cause you dont even have to go to serverip.com/httpd-status you can go to domain.com/http-status too.

just wondered how to lock this kinda thing down a bit so only the company have access i guess .htaccess file some where?
