James:

The startup program is the most common method, since that's how IBM 
ships systems. Alternatively, you could add an auto-start entry to 
your controlling subsystem or to any other subsystem that would 
normally be started as a default on your system.

By adding an entry to a secondary subsystem, you have slightly more 
assurance of the timing. E.g., if you don't want SBSX to start until 
after QSERVER starts, add an auto-start to QSERVER.

Customization is available all over.

Also, if you're talking about versions of i5/OS beyond V5R3, you 
might want to open iNav and review My Connections-> [your_system]-> 
Network-> Servers-> User-Defined.

You can now define your own "servers" and have them be controlled 
pretty much like any TCP/IP server on the system, including via 
STRTCPSVR and ENDTCPSVR. If you don't want to use iNav, then review 
the ADDTCPSVR command.
