Javascript Compiler / Lexer

Question

I'm looking for a free open-source Javascript/ECMAScript compiler or lexical analyzer, in order to compile javascript code to an executable that can run on Linux.

I understand that I will probably need to add some objects/APIs for the javascript code to be able to perform operations within the O/S. I was hoping that some of this work has already been done somewhere.

Any pointers anyone? Thanks!

You can try Rhino, a free Javascript implementation written in Java. If you need an implementation without requiring a full Java installation, you might try the Firefox project's Spidermonkey
