Bug Description

This is late in the 0.10, but I am wondering can we get this feature in: being
able to launch ipengines with "ipengine -s initscript.py" so the ipengine
prepares itself before registering with the ipcontroller?

This suggestion comes from a previous "Won't Fix" bug:

Yes, I think this is a good idea. As long as it happens before the
engines register with the controller.
