For Apache, what Linux command do I type to watch performance in real time?

What command can I type with Linux where I can watch Apache HTTP web server load in real time?

BACKGROUND: I can type 'top'. That let's me watch overall server load (just look at inverse of Idle % and consider it over a period of time). However, I need to know how to see when Apache is running into critical load and may run out of process handles or something like that.
