Put the script in /etc/rc3.d directory and rename it as startup scripts already there in the directort

Say S99_startup.sh .when the machine will boot it will execute the script.

bos_startup

BOS_STARTUP(8)						       AFS Command Reference						    BOS_STARTUP(8)

NAME

       bos_startup - Starts a process without changing its status flag

SYNOPSIS

       bos startup -server <machine name> [-instance <instances>+]
	   [-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]

       bos startu -s <machine name> [-i <instances>+]
	   [-c <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]

DESCRIPTION

       The bos startup command starts, on the server machine named by the -server argument, either:

       o   All AFS server processes not currently running but marked with the "Run" status flag in the /etc/openafs/BosConfig file.

       o   Each process specified by -instance argument, even if its status flag in the BosConfig file is "NotRun".

       To start a process and set its BosConfig status flag to "Run", use the bos start command instead.

OPTIONS

       -server <machine name>
	   Indicates the server machine on which to start processes. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-qualified
	   or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).

       -instance <instances>+
	   Names each process to start. Use the process name assigned with the -instance argument to the bos create command. The output from the
	   bos status command lists the names.

       -cell <cell name>
	   Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).

       -noauth
	   Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see
	   bos(8).

       -localauth
	   Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket
	   to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see
	   bos(8).

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

EXAMPLES

       The following command starts all processes marked with status flag "Run" in the BosConfig file on the machine "fs3.abc.com" that are not
       currently running.

	  % bos startup fs3.abc.com

       The following command starts the buserver, kaserver, ptserver, and vlserver processes running on the machine "db2.abc.com", even if their
       status flags in the BosConfig file are "NotRun".

	  % bos startup -server db2.abc.com 
	      -instance buserver kaserver ptserver vlserver

PRIVILEGE REQUIRED

       The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine named by the -server argument, or must be logged onto a
       server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
