You can put it in any of the files, as far as I know. sip.conf may be a 
good place, as you are doing stuff that is SIP related. Add this at the 
end of your sip.conf:

------------------
#exec /tmp/do-on-restart.sh
------------------

and enter this in /tmp/do-on-restart.sh:

------------------
#!/bin/sh

UPTIME_TEST=`asterisk -rx 'show uptime' | grep -a "System" | sed -u -e 
"s/.*uptime: [0-9] second.*//" -e "s/^ *//" -e "s/ *$//"`

if [ "$UPTIME_TEST" = "" ]; then
         # DO STUFF HERE
fi
------------------

Make it executable:

chmod a+x /tmp/do-on-restart.sh

Then restart asterisk and your skript will be run. On my, quite limited, 
tests this worked as it should, although it will do the stuff if 
asterisk has been running for less than 10 seconds, so if you issue a 
reload just after restarting the script will run again... But if this is 
an issue you can probably find a way to tweak it.

Of course there may be a better way to get the uptime, but not that I 
know of at the moment... Another disclaimer is that this is tested on a 
1.2-system, not a 1.4. So I'm not sure if the output of "show uptime" is 
the same, maybe it is not called "show uptime", rather "core show 
uptime"... But these things should not be that tough to tweak..

Hope you get it to work.
