You can put command to run the script in .bashrc file inside your home directory, this file is read every time you open non-login shell (Terminal, Iterm and their tabs).

Removing the file's extension should cause the file to open in your default terminal application. Alternately, you could select "All Applications" from the "Enable" menu in the "Open With" dialog to enable opening with "Terminal.app" regardless of the file's extension.
