Add shebang, make file executable call it with `./mainnet.js`. But i would just type out node – Roland Starke Mar 07 '16 at 22:03

Do you have a `package.json` definition? – leobelizquierdo Mar 07 '16 at 22:11

Yes I do have package.json, but it is already used to start server .. – irom Mar 07 '16 at 22:13

I added shebang '#!/usr/local/bin/env node' to mainnet.js and verified node is in directory /usr/local/bin/ also gave executable to mainnet.js says bash: ./dping.js: /usr/local/bin/env: bad interpreter: No such file or directory – irom Mar 07 '16 at 22:37

Try creating a new script in the`scripts` section of `package.json` eg.: `"command": "node mainnet.js"`. Then run the script with npm: `npm run command`. – leobelizquierdo Mar 07 '16 at 23:14
