You can talk to the running bitcoind either by: @p{brk}
 1. sending JSON-RPC calls; see @s{(link)} for more details. @p{brk}
 2. re-running bitcoind and giving it extra arguments; it will figure out that there's already a bitcoind running and will pass along the commands. @p{par}

For example, running "bitcoind help" gives you the list of commands it understands: @p{brk}

Code:
bitcoind help @p{brk}
getaddressesbylabel @p{lt}label@s{gt} @p{brk}
listreceivedbyaddress [minconf=1] [includeempty=false] @p{brk}
getreceivedbyaddress @p{lt}bitcoinaddress@s{gt} [minconf=1] @p{brk}
getbalance @p{brk}
getblockcount @p{brk}
getblocknumber @p{brk}
getconnectioncount @p{brk}
getdifficulty @p{brk}
getgenerate @p{brk}
getinfo @p{brk}
getlabel @p{lt}bitcoinaddress@s{gt} @p{brk}
getnewaddress [label] @p{brk}
getreceivedbyaddress @p{lt}bitcoinaddress@s{gt} [minconf=1] @p{brk}
getreceivedbylabel @p{lt}label@s{gt} [minconf=1] @p{brk}
help @p{brk}
listreceivedbyaddress [minconf=1] [includeempty=false] @p{brk}
listreceivedbylabel [minconf=1] [includeempty=false] @p{brk}
listtransactions [count=10] [includegenerated=false] @p{brk}
sendtoaddress @p{lt}bitcoinaddress@s{gt} @p{lt}amount@s{gt} [comment] [comment-to] @p{brk}
setgenerate @p{lt}generate@s{gt} [genproclimit] @p{brk}
setlabel @p{lt}bitcoinaddress@s{gt} @p{lt}label@s{gt} @p{brk}
stop @p{brk}

 @p{brk}
To figure out what your bitcoin address is, run: @p{brk}
@p{(so}bitcoind getaddressesbylabel ""@p{so)} @p{brk}
@p{(so}(your default address has the empty string as its label).@p{so)} @p{brk}

Code:
 bitcoind getaddressesbylabel "Your Address" 
To figure out how many coins you have, run: @p{brk}

Code:
 bitcoind getbalance 
or @p{brk}

Code:
 bitcoind getinfo 
 @p{brk}
Regarding running headless:  the non-daemon bitcoin will run via remote (e.g. ssh forwarded) X-windows, if you install the necessary X11-client stuff on your server. @p{brk}
