How to call JavaScript(.JS) file in system startup

Question

I have one JavaScript(.JS) file and i want to call it when system(PC) is start up.

Is it possible to call JavaScript file whenever system(PC) starts ?

Thanks

There are many ways to execute something when Windows starts. Firstly, can you execute the file normally by simply double-clicking it? — Reinstate Monica Cellio, Jul 01 '15 at 15:33
What are you intending to achieve by doing this? It would be helpful if you could describe your use case. Are you referring to a .js file on a server or a desktop? What operating system? — jonny, Jul 01 '15 at 15:34

You need an environnement to start your JS file. Let's say you use node.

Create a batch file (windows) (or sh file (unix)) with something like node YOURJSFILE.js.

Then you have to say to your OS to execute it at startup.

Example : Windows

To run a batch file at start up: start >> all programs >> right-click startup >> open >> right click batch file >> create shortcut >> drag shortcut to startup folder.

Run Batch File On Start-up

Example : Unix
