How can I check to see what programs a lab full of students are
running? I know that the unix command TOP will list out the
processes but this is too much info and hard to run on a group of
20 where the output is manageable. Is there something I can run
that will just list the apps that are running for each user??

Applescript is your friend!
Send the following UNIX command:
osascript << EOF
tell application "Finder"
get the name of processes whose file type is "APPL"
end tell
EOF
Example output:
Bob's Computer (192.168.1.222)
loginwindow, ARDAgent, Dock, SystemUIServer, iTunesHelper,
ClassicAuxInput, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Database Daemon, Microsoft
Excel, Terminal, TextEdit, Netscape Communicator™, Internet Explorer,
Safari, iTunes, Printer Setup Utility, firefox-bin,
ScreenSaverEngine, System Events
