lpsched(1M)		System Administration Commands		   lpsched(1M)

NAME
       lpsched - start the LP print service

SYNOPSIS
       lpsched [-f num_filters] [-n num_notifiers] [-p fd_limit]
	    [-r reserved_fds]

DESCRIPTION
       The  lpsched command  starts or restarts the  LP print service.

       The   lpshut  command  stops  the  LP print service.  Printers that are
       restarted using lpsched reprint (in their entirety) print requests that
       were stopped by	lpshut. See  lpshut(1M).

       It  is  recommended that you start  and stop the LP print service using
       svcadm(1M).  See NOTES.

OPTIONS
       The following options are supported:

       -f num_filters	   Specifies the number	 of  concurrent	 slow  filters
			   that	 may be run on a print server. A default value
			   of 1 is used if none	 is  specified.	 Depending  on
			   server  configuration,  a  value  of	  1  may cause
			   printers to remain idle while there are jobs queued
			   to them.

       -n num_notifiers	   Specifies  the  number  of  concurrent notification
			   processes that can run on a print server. A default
			   value of  1 is used when none is specified.

       -p fd_limit	   Specifies  the  file	 descriptor resource limit for
			   the	lpsched process. A default value of   4096  is
			   used	 if  none is specified. On extremely large and
			   active  print  servers,  it	may  be	 necessary  to
			   increase this value.

       -r reserved_fds	   Specifies  the  number of file descriptors that the
			   scheduler  reserves	for  internal	communications
			   under  heavy	 load.	A  default value of  2 is used
			   when none is specified. It should not be  necessary
			   to  modify  this  value  unless instructed to do so
			   when troubleshooting problems under high load.

EXIT STATUS
       The following exit values are returned:

       0	   Successful completion.

       non-zero	   An error occurred.

FILES
       /var/spool/lp/*	  LP print queue.
