There is no command-line option to run a specific stored procedure. However, you can mark stored procedures in the master database to automatically start whenever SQL Server is started, not just from command-line. Use sp_procoption for this:

sp_procoption 'someprocedure', 'startup', true

The procedure cannot take any parameters and must reside in master, plus it should be owned by sa.

Sql Agent also allows jobs to be run at the start of SQL Agent.

You can also mark multiple SP's as well. Multpile SPs are excecuted alphabetically I believe. So in order to enforce an execution order you'd have to name them accordingly.
