user35061: running ps yields:
31793 pts/0     11:04:46 bitcoind

but commands like bitcoind getblocktemplate
yields: 
bash: bitcoind: command not found...

I've attempted to add the src folder to my global path through the following command:
echo " export PATH=$PATH:/home/jpc/Code/WorkingCopies/bitcoin/src" >> ~/.profile

Thanks for any help.

user63872: bitcoind is the server, you can interact with it using the command-line utility bitcoin-cli. For example:
bitcoin-cli getblocktemplate
