I'd probably just recommend that they run the start command after either TCPIP or TSO. In our automation we have a number of tasks similar to this one that we start after TCPIP (if it depends on TCPIP) or TSO.

I'm writing documentation for a product that a customer would normally run automatically as an STC at every IPL. What do I say in the manual about where to place the START command? Where would this command go? It probably wants to be run fairly late in the IPL after most other subsystems are up. Place the command START FOO in _____? I'm looking at the documentation for COMMNDxx and IEACMD00 in Init & Tuning. COMMNDxx looks like it gets processed too early in the game and IEACMD00 is documented as being for IBM-supplied commands only but there is no cross-reference to where else to put a START command.
