What do you mean with "clients are up"?

You just need to type "w" in some xterm to see who is logged in to some
shell.

Install/run "iptraf" a nice little ncurses tool for network monitoring.

Good luck

There are many tools and commands which help with server administration,
but you'll have to be far more specific about what you want to do
before you get any meaningful responses. Sorry, but what you've asked
for here is effectively asking "how do I use Linux?"

Be a little more specific, and you'll get all the answers you need.
