You add the script to the rc.d or init.d directory, whichever the case may be.

Jon, your solution will NOT automatically run the script.

If it only has to run at boot, and not at shutdown, the best way to do it is to call it from:

/etc/rc.d/rc.local

Alright. Using Debian here, so just giving the general area to look.
