9 <P>The
<VAR>/etc/cups/cupsd.conf
</VAR> file contains
10 configuration
<I>directives
</I> that control how the server
11 functions. Each directive is listed on a line by itself followed
12 by its value. Comments are introduced using the number sign (
"#")
13 character at the beginning of a line.
</P>
15 <P>Since the server configuration file consists of plain text,
16 you can use your favorite text editor to make changes to it.
17 After making any changes, restart the
<CODE>cupsd(
8)
</CODE>
18 process using the startup script for your operating system:
</P>
22 <LI>AIX, IRIX, Linux, Solaris:
24 /etc/init.d/cups restart
29 /sbin/init.d/cups restart
34 sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.cups.cupsd.plist
35 sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.cups.cupsd.plist
40 <P>You can also edit this file from the CUPS web interface, which
41 automatically handles restarting the scheduler.

64 <P>The server name can be included in the filename by using
