Run JavaScript with a Batch file

Question

for a project I need to load and then run a JavaScript script using Batch. My JavaScript script write "Website visited" to a file on my server each time that I visit my website. What I want to do is to call "http://.../js/myscript.js" with Batch in order to run this code as if I visit the URL from the browser.

Do you know how can I do?

Thank you!

You could write a JS script, that you execute with node, which fetches contents of the script from the url as a string and executes it with eval().

Thank you! but, are there other option? – JohnClear Oct 08 '17 at 18:46
You can not execute Javascript without node or a browser. You can however call the execution of your JS file from a batch file, if that is your problem. – justadudewhohacks Oct 08 '17 at 18:50
What do you mean to "call the execution of your JS file from a batch file"? To open a browser tab? – JohnClear Oct 08 '17 at 18:56
Well, either execute a js script with node or open a browser and instruct it to go to that specific url with a command. – justadudewhohacks Oct 08 '17 at 19:01
I would like to do it without opening a browser. So, do I need to install node.js on my server? – JohnClear Oct 08 '17 at 19:07
You have to install node wherever you want to execute the batch file. If you want to execute it on a server, then yes. – justadudewhohacks Oct 08 '17 at 19:08
But the batch file is executed on my PC – JohnClear Oct 08 '17 at 19:09
Then you have to install it on your PC. – justadudewhohacks Oct 08 '17 at 19:14

maybe just do a regular start up batch. Like @echo off dir C://user/admin

start myscript.js

exit

You can also use a file that runs your js file in commnd line, it will be the same as node I'd assume
