Starting the Print Scheduler With Options

There are two ways to pass options to the print scheduler by using SMF:

• By modifying option values only for the duration of a call.

  Use the /usr/lib/lpsched command with the appropriate options when you only want to pass options to the print scheduler for the duration of a call. Before setting options, see the lpsched(1M) man page for more information about these default values and reasons for changing them.

• By maintaining option values over a system reboot, or if the print scheduler is restarted.

  The SMF manifest for the print server contains properties that are utilized by the print server start-up script. These property values are passed on to the print scheduler and represent the options, which are set by using the svccfg command.

  The properties are as follows:

  • lpsched/num_filters

  • lpsched/num_notifiers

  • lpsched/fd_limit

  • lpsched/reserved_fds

  Any options that are not set with the svccfg command will use the default values that are in the print scheduler. For more information about using the svccfg command, see the svccfg(1M) man page.
