Problem is that every time user logs in to the workstation he/she should first start MeasureTool and load calibration data.

Profile is no problem. That is easy to solve, but calibration data not. MeasureTool is not scriptable with AppleScript, so here lies my problem.

I could probably try to make some kind of a Unix shell script to automate the loading of calibration data if I only would know where and what to look after. Maybe... :-)
As Bruce said, the calibration data is saved in the profile and will be loaded at user log-in by the system Once the profile is built, you don't need to use measuretool or anything else again.
If you put the profile in the system-wide location of <drive>/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/ then it will be visible to all users. Each user needs to explicitly select the profile in the Color tab of the Display System Preferences pane (speaking of pane, that terminology is such a pain - I preferred calling them control panels).
Once the profile is selected the calibration curves stored within will be loaded when the user logs in.

Steve
