If you want to just issue that command on boot up with out all the
typing you can add it to your rc.local script (if you have one) in
/etc/init.d/rc.local ... if you want to create an rc.local script just
vi it and edit it... then run #update-rc.d rc.local defaults
from a root prompt. Of course to be "debianized" you shouldn't use
rc.local , but should make an init script in the proper form, but
rc.local will suit your simple need for typing "cardmgr" at bootup.
