(command "script" "scriptfile.scr")

Put it in the Acad.lsp, acaddoc.lsp or acad200xdoc.lsp. alternatively, you can write it to it's own file, name it a lisp, then add that lisp to the startup suite.

The /b switch designates a script to run after AutoCAD starts. To invoke a script when you start AutoCAD, use the following syntax:

acad [drawing file] /b script

The script file must be listed after the /b switch on the command line; an SCR file type is assumed. If AutoCAD can't find the script file, it reports that it can't open the file.
Scripts can be used to set up drawing parameters in a new drawing file. For example, the following command creates a new drawing called widget and runs the script called setup.scr:

acad widget /b setup

When the script has finished, the Command prompt is displayed.

No, what I was getting at was that you asked one question (which was answered) then immediately followed that by another, completely diferent question, but connected to the first (?)

Had you asked

1) saved you having to ask another question
2) allowed us to answer your question more completely in the first place
