    There are a handful of ways to run Javascript at the command-line.

    If you’re on Windows, you can write WSH-style shell scripts in JS. Done!

    If you’re on Mac/Linux, all you need is a command-line JS parser. I’ve tried a few and I like V8 the best, though getting it compiled is a bit of a pain.

    The part about using jQuery makes very little sense, though, because jQuery is primarily intended to provide shortcuts into the DOM of a web page.

    So, if what you’re really hoping to do is run a script against several HTML files, and query their DOMs, it might be time to look at Webdriver, although Phantomjs is probably a much easier place to start.
