Hi, we also use only dsmcad as starter for the tsm scheduler. Here a script
that could help you for stopping, starting and restarting:

#!/usr/bin/sh
# rc.dsmcad , version 1.1
#
# description:  start or restart client acceptor daemon
# constraints:  must be run as root
#               it will start dsmcad client acceptor daemon
#
# author :      sh

# modifications:
#       23/06/2003   initial creation
#       23/06/2003   v1.1 Routed the log to /dev/null (PAN)

All problems went away as soon as we began to let DSMCAD
start the scheduler.
