online sorting with GEBSort

[These instructions should be generalized]

Here is an example of running GEBSort on a1.gam on-line taking data from the GEB

1) Download and compile

 cd workdir (e.g., cd d6/gretina/devel/cur)
   svn co https://svn.anl.gov/repos/gs_analysis .
 or
   wget http://www.phy.anl.gov/gretina/GEBSort/AAAtar.tgz
   tar -zxvf AAAtar.tgz
 rm curEPICS; ln -s /global/devel/base/R3.14.11 curEPICS
 export ROOTSYS=/home/users/tl/root/root-v5-34-00
 export PATH=$ROOTSYS/bin:$PATH
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/users/tl/root/root-v5-34-00/lib/root
 make GEBSort

2) to run and take data, type

  ./GEBSort -input geb  10.0.1.100    100 0 100.0 RECREATE \
  -chat GEBSort.chat \
  -rootfile test.root &

3) to stop the on-line sort and write the root file out, type

 ./stop.sh

4) to display the data

 root-l
 compile GSUtils
 load root file
 display
