[streaming] How to set up VoD streaming without user intervention?

I have VoD working on my system using vlc and the telnet interface. 
(a.k.a. VLM)  What I want to do now is run a certain set of VLM commands 
on startup.  From the docs, the closest I've been able to come is:

	$ vlc -I telnet --rtsp-host 0.0.0.0:5554 --config /tmp/foo

where foo is a text file containing things like:

	new 222 vod enabled
	setup 222 input "/video/222.mpg"

That file was created by VLM's 'save' command.  'load'ing it does work, 
but giving --config doesn't seem to run the commands in the named file.

With verbose logging, it says "opening config file /tmp/foo", and 
nothing else.  When I telnet to the server and say "show media", no 
media are defined.

Basically, I want to run a 'load' command on startup.  How do I do this?
