I profiled Adam Machanic's (blog | twitter) excellent stored procedure, SP_WHOISACTIVE, back in August of 2010.
Adam has been diligent about maintaining the tool and adding new features. The latest release can be found here - http://sqlblog.com/files/folders/beta/entry35046.aspx.
Some new features in this release (and I quote):
Who is Active v10.99
CPU deltas can now use real-time thread-based metrics for more accurate data (use both @delta_interval and @get_task_info = 2)
command_type information added to [additional_info] column for active requests
Query plans that are not able to be rendered due to XML data type limitations will now be returned in an encapsulated text form
Fixed bug where system processes were sometimes reporting start times in the future
Fixed bug where @get_locks sometimes failed with a constraint error
Be sure to put this in your tool kit!
Enjoy!
