sorry for the late follow up, but depending on what you want to do, you may want to make a launchd item.

That way it will run as a system daemon and always run, depending on what you want to accomplish.

Basically, Apple decided to get rid of all other launch daemons and have one to rule them all, launchd. You can write a script and toss it, in lets say, /usr/sbin/myscript.sh

Next you can create a launchd item that will run at log in or start up for every user by placing the .plist file in /Library/LaunchDaemons

example:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
	<key>Label</key>
	<string>com.tlarkin.myscript.sh.plist</string>
	<key>Nice</key>
	<integer>-9</integer>
	<key>ProgramArguments</key>
	<array>
		<string>/usr/sbin/myscript.sh</string>
	</array>
	<key>RunAtLoad</key>
	<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
If you want it to run for specific users, you toss it in ~/Library/LaunchAgents for that particular user.
