Is it possible to execute commands such as /ipconfig by double-clicking a JavaScript file on your desktop? Just like you do with VBScripts in Windows.
If not, is there any Java-based scripting file type that can handle this?
With scripting file type I mean something such as .BAT, .VBS or .PS1. Avoid .JAVA or .JAR answers as these files aren't as easy to build nor they are scripts.
you cannot directly execute a javascript file. You have to use Nodejs from a command line or somehow call nodejs to execute a particular .js file from a .bat, .exe etc file
With a batch(.bat) file:
@Echo off
pause
cd\windows\system32
ipconfig /all
pause
exit
Make 2 files:
File 1 - script.js:
'use strict';
console.log("Hello from script!");
File 2 - test.js
'use strict';
const cp = require('node:child_process');
const command = "node script.js"
cp.execSync(command, { stdio: 'inherit' });
Run:
node test.js
Expected output:
"Hello from script!"
