Yes, I wrote the file (I probably should have mentioned that - sorry). I
put the commands I wanted run at start up in that file, set it as
executable, and it gets called at start up automagically. I found this
through a google search a year or so ago.

Oddly enough, the debian gnu/linux faq lists a different method for
running user scripts at start up:
