Add it to your users .bash_login in their home directory.

Code:
ls /etc/rc.local
less /etc/rc.local
Sorry, I don't know where the man page is.

Also consider /etc/bashrc & /etc/profile, they are system-wide, i.e. apply to all users. I think /etc/bashrc is preferable, check man bash for the (slightly subtle) differences between them.


If instead you really want something that runs at every boot after the init scripts, check out /etc/rc.local:
Code:
ls /etc/rc.local
less /etc/rc.local
Sorry, I don't know where that man page is.

If you use the system wide configuration you can write some code to fire off a script, program or command based on either user id or group id.

Example:

Code:
if [ "$UID" = "1001" ]; then
    some command........
fi

if [ "$GID" = "100" ]; then
  . /execute/some/script
fi
