I've realised - as I should have done immediately - that the real problem is that if one uses the cups.sh start/stop script for a second `evaluation' cupsd on a machine, its `kill $pid' can kill the `production' cupsd on that machine. Apart from that, the configuration above may well suffice to separate the two schedulers.
