I was speaking in terms of what you can do with TSM facilities alone.....
but your suggestion might work for some. However, I myself usually just
close my laptop lid and let it go to "sleep". When I re-open the lid and
plug into the network, I don't have to log on, I just unlock the keyboard.
So the logon script wouldn't work for me, at least not without some
additional massaging to retry the dsmc command periodically.

The only dumb question is the one that goes unasked.
The command line is your friend.
