I would have the bonescript code in, say, /home/debian/doSerial.js, and run that automatically on every reboot. There are a number of ways to do this. One quick way is try to add a line in /etc/crontab to run this command on @reboot: @reboot root cd /home/debian && NODE_PATH=/usr/local/lib/node_modules && export NODE_PATH && doSerial.js Assuming you are using debian image, /dev/ttyO1 and /dev/ttyO2 have "rw-rw---" as their permission. So you either need to run it as root or add your desired user to the dialout group to be able to write to these serial interfaces. If doSerial.js crashes for any reason, you could use a process monitor to restart it.
