It can be called on window.onload event like :-

 

 

<apex:page >

   <apex:form>

       <apex:actionFuction name="agreeJS" action="{!agree}" /> 

</apex:form>

<script>

  window.onload = new function(){ agreeJS();}

</script>

</apex:page>

Action function is used to call the controller methods from javascript... This link should make things clearer

is there an alternative to

<apex:page Controller="Shipment__c" action="{!agree}">

</apex:page>

 so that action="{!agree}" is not called within the apex:page component when the page is rendered. For example

<apex:page Controller="Shipment__c">
..... action="{!agree}"
</apex:page>

 apex method agree should automatically be called when the page is rendered
