Sorry beginner question.

I would like to execute a terminal command on my local host (Command would be to start a bash script ./test.sh ) upon clicking a button on the HTML webpage.

How do I program this in Javascript to get server side access and execute the script ?

Thanks

Client-side JavaScript can't do this. You will need to write server-side JavaScript (NodeJS) or use another server-side technology (like Java) that can call arbitrary commands. See here for an example with NodeJS.

Normally this is not possible in web browser without using server-side approach. You can use os.runCommand() in Neutralinojs easily to do above task
