Is there any way to have Terminal automatically run a command each time it is opened? I want to always have my background as my screensaver with the command
Code: 
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background &
and I have made an alias for the command so that I can just type in ss, but I have to type it in every time I open up terminal. I'd like to have Terminal start at login in the hidden state and run my screensaver background command automatically. Any ideas? :confused:

Click to expand...

Terminal-->Preferences-->Settings-->Shell. Check the Run Command box and enter

Code: 
/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background &
in the adjacent box.
