I don't want the same thing to start up every time I start Terminal -- I tend to use Terminal for lots of stuff at once -- but I want the ability to, from a script, pop open a new Terminal window running a specific command (which may be different in different scripts/buttons).
Fortunately, a solution does exist (*whew*), which I just posted a link to.
I knew I could open multiple tabs in the Linux equivalent; I think I'd accidentally bumped into that in Terminal as well ... I don't use that much (despite making extensive use of tabs in web browsers), because I often want to be able to look at multiple sessions simultaneously. But since you've reminded me the feature is there, I should start looking for situations where I don't need to see everything at once, so I can use tabs to save space on my screen. (I really want about six monitors, to see everything I'm working on at once, but that'd make a laptop rather unweildy.)
