Running a script at user login?

New to Debian.

I have a user logged on automatically at startup and would like to start a script (for a telnet session) auromatically when this user logs in.

How do i achieve this?

I have modified inittab so tty1 executes exec su - floor at boot through another script (floor is the user)

so how do i run a script whenever this user logs in? or can i simply run the telnet command after this (as the user is already logged in) ?

Adding the script path and name to the .bash_profile file in the users directory should do it if you use bash.
