I guess that you can actually write a script to do this as the last task in the
startup or at the appropriate start up point. So the script would contain
exactly y what you have for command line steps.
This isn't the most elegant way, but it will surely work. I am sure that someone
would probably have a better way to go.
Cheers,
Aly.
