+    Initialize common application startup tasks.
+
+    This function handles the repetitive startup tasks common to most simtools applications:
+
+    - Parse command line arguments and configuration
+    - Set up logging with appropriate level
+    - Optionally initialize IOHandler
+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    parse_function : Callable
+        Function that parses configuration and returns (args_dict, db_config) tuple.
+        This should be the application's _parse() function.
+    setup_io_handler : bool, optional
+        Whether to initialize and return an IOHandler instance. Default is True.
+    logger_name : str, optional
+        Name for the logger. If None, uses the root logger. Default is None.
+
+    Returns
+    -------
+    args_dict : dict
+        Parsed command line arguments and configuration.
+    db_config : dict
+        Database configuration dictionary.
+    logger : logging.Logger
+        Configured logger instance.
+    io_handler_instance : io_handler.IOHandler or None
+        IOHandler instance if setup_io_handler=True, None otherwise.
+
+    Example
+    -------
