is it possible node.js to start js files which are not located on the same machine where the node is started? (Something like node.exe http://myserver.com/app.js)
Thanks!

If you want to execute the file locally you could retrieve the remote file and then execute it locally.
Otherwise you’ll have to configure (probably by writing a script in Node, PHP, or whatever your preferred web scripting language is) the remote server to execute the file itself when you make a certain request. This has security implications, however—you’ll need to take measures to protect against unauthorized requests using, say, HTTP basic authentication.
