Thanks for the great idea!!  And is there a way to "encourage" HP to make
NEWJOBQ SYSSTARTable?

Good point.  I personally don't know if there is a technical
reason why NEWJOBQ cannot be executed directly in SYSSTART.
However, there is a fairly easy way to ensure your start-up
jobs are executed before any other jobs that might get launched:

systart.pub.sys (entirely on ldev 1)
---------------

STARTUP
limit 0,0
streams 10
startspool lp
...
# create job queues
stream jobqj.foo.sys    # logs on HIPRI
pause job=!hplastjob
# start networking
limit 1
stream jnetstrt.net.sys
pause job=!hplastjob
#set up final limits
limit x,y
limit a,b;jobq=foo
etc...
