TCPIP startup message

There are a lot of tasks depending on TCPIP startup.
Actually there is no real TCPIP startup finished message issued that can an automation tool pick up.

There should be a message issued when all functions of TCPIP are ready to do work so that the automation can continue to start the tasks which are depending on TCPIP services.
