Adding Bash Script to Disable Nvidia Graphic Card at Startup?

I've found the way to disable my hybrid card GT 540M on Asus K53SV at:

That's great, but I need those commands to be executed automatically at startup. So I followed the instructions here.

Actually, I copy the bash file instead of creating link in /etc/init.d/

However, it doesn't work at all. My script is:

#!/bin/bash
echo "start my own acpi_call"
cd
cd acpi_call
insmod acpi_call.ko
./test_off.sh
echo "finished.Thank you"

I tried both using "sudo insmod" and "insmod" only but still no effect. What's wrong with it?

another option is to install bumblebee and copy the install-files/bumblebee-disablecard-on-powerup into /usr/local/bin with your OFF method.
