How to run a JavaScript file from shell?

Question

Can I run a JavaScript file from shell (Window\Linux) ?

I just want to show a message box to the user and based on the button selected perform some action. The buttons also need to be customized.

Message Box? Button? How are those going to be generated in a shell? I think you'd need to script a browser for that. — Sean Patrick Floyd

You can have a look at HTA apps for Windows. It's basically a windows application written in HTML and JS. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms536496(VS.85).aspx
