From what I understood from the question, I think you are trying to write server-side JavaScript code to execute a shell script.

As @epascarello mentioned, you can use NodeJS exec() function as under:

exec('sh sudo ./test.sh', function(error, stdout, stderr){
      console.log(error, stdout, stderr);
})

For more information please refer to this thread: Run shell script with node.js (childProcess)
