Subject: STC @ IPL - how to wait for OMVS to be initialized with no automation 
product. 

This is for another system, not my employer's, which I sometime help to 
customize. I need to run a task at IPL time. The simplest way is to use the 
COMMNDxx member of PARMLIB to do a START command. But the program I'm 
running requires UNIX to be completely initialized. If I had automation, 
I'd do the START when the BPXI004I message is issused. But I don't have 
automation. I don't see any BPX1* callable UNIX service which says "wait 
for UNIX to become ready and then return". I do see an ENFREQ request which 
can receive the "UNIX initiation complete" message, but an ENFREQ 
REQUEST=LISTEN is a PITA in my opinion. Or maybe I'm just really lazy. 

Any ideas?

it.
