again excuse the ignorance and I appreciate your patience

where exactly am I adding that code to the existing commands?

do you mean something like this:

if [ "$QBW_EXEC_REASON" == "QBW_STARTUP_UPDATE" ]; then
# add here switch on instructions
/usr/sbin/kernel-load /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt | sudo gainroot>/dev/null
echo "OFF";
exit 1;
fi;
if [ "$QBW_CURRENT_RESULTS_TEXT" == "ON" ]; then
# add here switch off instructions
/usr/sbin/kernel-unload /home/user/MyDocs/originalkernel.txt | sudo gainroot>/dev/null
echo "OFF";
exit 0;
else
# add here switch on instructions
/usr/sbin/kernel-load /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt | sudo gainroot>/dev/null
echo "OFF";
exit 1;
fi;
