You can test it by double-clicking the file in the Finder
Make it executable: chmod +x ~/Library/Startup.cmd
Add this file in System Preferences > Accounts > Login items

note that the file can be anywhere, doesn't have to end with .cmd either. just chmod +x it

Click "Show library" in the toolbar (if hidden);

Copy-and-paste your script into the window;
Test it;
