      done as root since a different person might swap out the experiment. So,
      the proxy is a perl wrapper invoked from a root ssh from boss, which
      forks, writes the pid file into /var/run/emulab/evsched/$pid_$eid.pid,
      then flips to the user and execs the event scheduler (which is careful
      not to fork). Obviously, if the kill is done as root, the pid file has to
      be stored someplace the user is not allowed to write.
    
    * The event scheduler has been rewritten to use Tim's C++ interface to the
      sshxmlrpc server on boss. Actually, I reorg'ed the scheduler so that it
