If it's BASH then you can put these commands into ~/.bashrc

It depends what OS and Terminal you're using. I imagine most of the popular terminal allows you to customise the startup command. For example, in the Terminal.app that comes with Mac OS X, you can go to Preferences > Settings > Shell > Startup / run command to specify a script to run on startup of each terminal window/tab.

Or you can simply at the commands at $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.bashrc, depending on your OS and shell.
