NAME

       proofserva - PROOF (The Parallel ROOT Facility)

DESCRIPTION

       Using PROOF (The Parallel ROOT Facility) one can analyze trees in parallel on a cluster of computers. The
       PROOF system consists of the proofd(1) from-end program which is started via inetd(8).

       proofd  takes  care  of  user  authentication  and  overlays  itself then with the desired version of the
       proofserv(1) executable.

       The proofserva(1) is a basically the same as the ROOT interactive module root(1), except  that  it  reads
       its commands from a socket instead of from the terminal.

       Since  it  is  a  remote  server  it  will  not do graphics and therefore is not linked with any graphics
       libraries (Motif, X11, etc.).

       proofserva is started by the daemon proofd(1) on request by the user.  It is not a command to be executed
       by the user directly.

       Note, that if proofserva is passed any arguments, it will use the libProofx interface,  rather  than  the
       standard libProof interface.
