    #!/bin/bash

sleep 11 &&

<your_script> -c ~/.<your_scriptrc>

    #!/bin/bash tells the computer you want it to do the following in bash, sleep 11 && tells the computer to wait 11 seconds

    (increase or decrease the time as needed).

  2. this is a very basic example of the script

    sleep 10
YOUR COMMAND HERE

    what the sleep 10 does it waits for 10 seconds then it continues the script.
    i don't know which commands your using to connect to a server so that part is up to you

    go to the above right screen select startup
    select add typ in a name and search where you saved the file and a comment if you like

    you can also make it generate a log file like so
    YOUR COMMAND HERE>>serverlogin.log
    you can change it to where you want so save the log like so 

    YOUR COMMAND HERE>>/tmp/serverlogin.log
