This can come in HANDY both from the Project onLoad script (if you want to start your MockServices when the project is opened) or from a TestCase/TestSuite setup script (if you need the MockService running for your functional tests). Here from a TestCase setup script: 

1. def runner = testCase.testSuite.project.mockServices["My MockService"].start()
2. context.mockRunner = runner 

The returned runner OBJECT is required to stop the MockService... so save it to the context and USE it in the tearDown script: 

context.mockRunner.stop() 

Have a look at the WsdlMockService and the WsdlMockRunner CLASSES for more methods and properties that might come in handy.
