Question : Is there a cmd to see active sessions in SQL 2005?

On occasion I need to overwrite/restore a database, I have a script to do that for me. Generally I would logon to the server console check SQL Ent Mgr to ensure no one is using the DB that I want to restore and then run my script to restore the DB. That process work fine. What I want to do is access the SQL 2005 server remotely using ssh. Check to ensure no one is in the database and then run my script.

How can I check to make sure no one is using the database (using ssh cmd line) before I restore it?
