A system file is not the appropriate choice (you won't own the  
process). A script which is executed at your (personal) login time is  
more suitable – but it must not launch GNU Emacs whenever a login  
shell is initiated! This can be achieved by checking before whether  
GNU Emacs is running, whether an environment variable is set (set when  
GNU Emacs was launched as daemon the first time), whether a semaphore  
file exists (created when GNU Emacs was launched as daemon the first  
time)...
