It varies by distro.  On Redhat systems one way to do it is to run your 
script and then use " /etc/init.d/rc.d/iptables save" to save the 
current configuration. SuSE is a little more complicated so I disabled 
the SuSE script through YaST2, ran my iptables script, and then use 
Webmin to save and restart my configuration. You can also call your 
script from the /etc/init.d/boot.local file which runs at boot.

Hope this helps.
