Briefcase

spWhatsRunning does just that. It tells you exactly what is executing on your server. By combining the output of the sp_who and dbcc inputbuffer, this script will tell you exactly whats being executed. DBCC INPUTBUFFER will tell you the same thing, but by the time you get the spid, the offending process may be gone. With spWhatsRunning you get a snapshot of everything.

The 3 parameters are @cpu, @loginame, and @host.
exec master..spWhatsRunning 0, '' to see every process. The parameters are used to filter out specific entries.
