[one-users] Run bash script in vm on spin-up

[Valentin Bud]

Hello Kerry,

Do you have a registered image of type CONTEXT with the name of `test.sh`
in the files datastore?

The file you specify in FILES_DS can be found in the contextualization CDROM
on the VM (/dev/disk/by-label/CONTEXT).

The following would run a `test.sh` script when the VM is spun up at the end
of the contextualization routine [1].

CONTEXT = [
  FILES_DS="$FILE[IMAGE=\"test.sh\"]",
  INIT_SCRIPTS="test.sh",
  ...
]

Best,
Valentin
