To which Drew Klenotic replies...

Well, if what you're asking is if the Atari could autoboot programs, the
answer is yes.  Most games and professional productivity packages did auto
load on booting.  It was easy enough for you to make your own programs auto
boot as well as Atari DOS 2 would automatically search for "AUTORUN.SYS" and
other DOSes had similar capabilities.
