Is there a way to prefix all sage code in order to include a custom module?

I have a library of commonly used functions and variables which I import, when required, into sage by using the following commands:

import os, sys
cmd_folder = '/home/username/sage'
if cmd_folder not in sys.path:
     sys.path.insert(0, cmd_folder)
import defaults as d

This allows me to access all my frequently used saved functions and variables. I essentially only use Sage through the web interface, and I would like to know if it is possible to make this code run as a "prefix" so that I no longer have to type this include in every worksheet.

If you create "~/.sage/init.sage" (where ~ is your homedir) it is executed automatically in the beginning of every session.

Which of course will only work if you are using it in the web interface off your own computer! But it looks like that's the case here?

I think this works from the command line interface too, doesn't it?

For me it works both in command line and notebook, but I am running the program on my computer as commented above.

@Mike Witt: Yes, init.sage should work in both, but it wasn't clear whether process91 is using it on a remote server or on his/her own computer. "Only" modified "your own computer", not the whole following phrase :)

This will work for me. I am using it as a server, but on my own hardware.
