You can add your script in ~/.bash_profile where ~ represents the homedir of the user for which running the script is intended.

    That will work, as long as users don't change their shell, and/or don't edit their personal .bash_profiles. Better would be in in the system default /etc/profile or better still in an include such as /etc/profile.d/local.sh
