It looks like you are probably trying to set up JNOS or TNOS. What I did
when I ran JNOS was to create a new script in /etc/init.d and put these
commands there. You could use /etc/init.d/skeleton as a template, but
that may not be necessary. Then run 'update-rc.d <filename> defaults'.
This will add symbolic links in /etc/rc*.d which will cause the
commands to be executed (normally when runlevel 2 is entered). See
'man update-rc.d' for more details.
