When you login, a .bashrc or a profile style .bashrc file is called in the default bash shell. If your shell script sets up environment variables, you can add these to the root profile for startup. This is typically located in the /root/.bashrc file or you may try adding the shell script to the /etc/profile.d/ directory.

If you really want to, put it in root's .profile (or .bashrc), so it'll execute everytime you log in. Bad idea, though, since if you log it twice or more per day as root, you'll keep running multiple copies.

A better thing to do, would be to put it at the bottom of the apache startup script, so it'll run whenever Apache is restarted....

Is it advisable to have a wrapper scrip which call my env file along with the startup script of apache.If so can you please give me the syntax or command to create one...

No idea what you're asking for, in terms of a "wrapper scrip which call my env file".

In your first post, you said you already HAVE a shell script, that needs to be run, after you start up Apache. As I suggested, why don't you just put that same script file, in the Apache startup script???? Open the /etc/init.d/apache2 file, find the start routine, and put a call in there to run your shell script. That's it.
