standalone javascript engine?

[Bob]

Hi!
I need a standalone javascript engine so that I can run the javascript
statements directly from the command line(just like the interpreted
languages) without using any internet environment.
Is it possible? or Is such kind of an engine is available?

Since modern browser comes with the inbuilt javascript facility, I
knwo there must be some inbuilt-plugin for executing javascript
commands.?
Can separate that plugin from the browser?
Which are the files associated with javascript command execution?

Greetings,
Bob

Check http://www.mozilla.org/js/ for Spidermonkey, the C implementation
of JavaScript/ECMAScript, that engine is used in Mozilla browsers like
Mozilla Seamonkey, Mozilla Firefox, Netscape 6/7.
There is also a Java implementation called Rhino.

If you are on Windows then there is Window Script Host to automate
Windows with J(ava)Script or VBScript, I think the JScript engine can
even be embedded in your own applications. Check
