But you are are not going to show this script to us. It is a secret. so
we do not know whether it is a viable, working script. You may know but

Ah, this is it; you want someone to write a script from scratch for you.
You provide the well known stock headers. We do the work.

That's nice to know. You get to do a little bit of work.

You might want to look at @reboot with cron for the startup. Don't say I
didn't help you.

Now for something completely off-topic:

The domain for your email address is naff. It marks you out as being 
someone who doesn't mind being regarded as a plonker.
