I just use the following little script in /etc/init.d/dsmsched:

#! /bin/ksh

case "$1" in

  start)
    /usr/bin/dsmc sched >/var/log/dsmsched.out 2>/var/log/dsmsched.err &
    ;;

  stop)
    ps -e -o pid,comm|awk '$2 ~ /dsmc/ { print $1}'|xargs kill
    ;;

  *)
    echo "Usage: $0 [start|stop]"
    ;;
esac
exit 0

I use links in /etc/rc3.d to start it (ln -s /etc/init.d/dsmsched
/etc/rc3.d/S50dsmsched)
