[torqueusers] Server not talking to MOMs at all

[Dave Jackson]

Garrick,

  I think I added $pbsserver nearly two years ago.  I just forgot about
it and it wasn't properly documented.  Consequently, its probably not
true that anyone is using it.  So, with that, which is more intuitive
for the newbie, $pbsserver, or $headnode?
