Replication status check

What is the best way to determine if transactional replication is alive and
well? I would like to know if the snapshots are completed, the articles are
being published, and that replicated transactions are being processed by the
subscriber.

run sp_MSenum_snapshot
look for a status of 2, which means complete.
to check that replicated commands are being processed issue the below
select * from distribution.dbo.msdistribution_status
