I would definitely NOT put it into rc.sysinit this is what /etc/rc.d/rc.local is for and it should not get overwritten on an upgrade. rc.local should be symlinked into each runlevel as S99local so that it is the last thing to run at bootup or runlevel change. I would put all the commands into a separate file and call it from rc.local. you could also use the at command to say "run this file in five minutes" if it fails it can rerun the at command to call itself again in however long.
