Very cool new app up on Installer today, called SysInfo.
As the name implies, it gives you some basic system information, but it has a second and more interesting purpose as well. It lets you look at and interact with – for instance kill, if needed – running processes on your iPhone. This is very cool – as it’s always very nice to have an ability to view what’s running on your system.
You can tap to select an individual process and have a look at its Process ID, how much CPU resource it is taking, what priority it has, and more.
You can also reboot your phone from within SysInfo, or do a ’soft reset’ sort of reload of Springboard.
This is a very handy program, and a damn good first version as well.
Check it out on Installer – you may need to modify the app’s permissions to make it run. See the original MMI thread HERE for more details.

Is it still a relevant tool for iPhone 3.0?
I'm now using iPhone's background apps option and I'm looking for an easy way to see what's running…
I don't think this one is still around. SBSettings is probably your best best for showing active processes, and killing them off when necessary.
