Add your script inside your .profile . .profile is executed whenever you log in. If a .profile currently doesn't exist in your home directory, create one!

We are using putty to remote login. Can I modify my home directory in this case?
Even I use putty remote login. But your home directory has nothing to do with the way you log in. Just say cd $HOME from wherever you are. Create a new .profile there and add your script inside it

Depends on your shell. Assuming you are using bash, you can add the command to .bash_profile in your home directory.
