In your maya scripts directory, add these lines to the "userSetup.mel".

source "theNameOfYourScript.mel";
spiderman ();

This sources the script, then executes the proc in script.

If your mel script isn't located in the mel scripts directory, then you'll need to include the path in your source statement.

Later,

Do not create and call a procedure if the script is designed to only run at Maya startup. Its a waste of memory.

Just leave away the "global proc blalala()" and do only source blalala.mel;
