Hello All,

I am in the process of setting up solaris lp print service. I get some
very odd behavior. If you all could take a look at the output below:
Basically I run a small script to check lpstat status every 5 seconds
and once in a while it comes back as NOT RUNNING. The stats remain the
same if I increase polling from 5 sec to 50 sec or reduce it to 1 sec.
I am running solaris 10 1/06 on sunfire V890.

ps -ef | grep lp

    root 28422 1 0 14:07:10 ? 0:00
/usr/lib/lp/local/lpsched

    root 28500 24106 0 14:07:14 pts/2 0:00 grep lp

The box itself is being used as a print server.

Is this NORMAL behaviour? If yes please ignore and apologies in
advance.

Thank you.
