Obviously sh-mode-hook gets executed every time you load sh-mode, i.e,
when you open a shell file.

eval after load will kick in when feature is loaded, i.e. when  you read
in (load or require) sh-script.el, so it least in theory it should get
executed only once, unless you unload feature 'sh-script for some reason.
