If you want to start VNC at boot, save your script to a location on disk as a .sh, run chmod a+x yourscriptname in a terminal (to make it executable) and add it to /etc/rc.local;

#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.
/path/to/your/script &
exit 0

Note the trailing & and the final exit 0; this will run the script and then continue the boot process and not block anything.
