If you don't want a "pure z/OS" solution, I've been using the COMMAND package from file 19 of the CBT collection (http://www.cbttape.org) for years in my sandbox LPARs to automate the IPL and shutdown. It has must less overhead than running our AO software... and the sysprogs have control over it. :-) At IPL time I just have an entry in COMMNDxx of "S STARTSYS" - which is a STC executes COMMAND and for shutdown I use "S SHUTSYS,SUB=MSTR" which shuts everything down and even issues the "V XCF,sysname,OFFLINE". BTW, you're not the first to ask for suggestions. Search the archives.
