How to run commands at startup as root

Hi guys, i need to run these commands at startup as root

echo -n 180 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/speed
echo -n 250 > /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/serio2/sensitivity

I had tried /etc/rc.local, but i got an error that says "No such a file". Apparently the file still does not exist at the time these commands are called, but they exist when im logged on my gnome desktop.

What can i do?

you could try putting a sleep command in front of them so the commands execute after the files exist.
