He said (and I quote since you have stripped it from your reply) ----
How can I get these commands to run on boot up automatically
without me having run them manually. My httpd service fails to
start on boot up because it requires these addresses to already
be available on the NIC, but my setup initially only bring
eth0:1 up on 192.168.1.2."
Thus, his question was how to get it to start at boot time.
Your solution, while it works, does not meet his needs.
