By starting it at boot time ;) That's done with an init script, normally.
Other options include to add it to inittab or to /etc/conf.d/local.start.

But are there JS interpreters for the command line?

It is a Java application then...

Check script permisions and add it to local.start:

  chmod +x /path/to/script
  echo /path/to/script params >> /etc/conf.d/local.start

Does it work now? 


Does it call the Java interpreter (i.e. #!/usb/bin/java)? 
How do you call/run the script once you login?

echo "/path/to/script params &" >> /etc/conf.d/local.start

Otherwise it will block anything set to run after it.

  If you can do it from the commandline, put it in the file...
/etc/conf.d/local.start
