I want a gulp task that will run a JavaScript file! Can this be done?

I want to be able to the type "gulp runcode" in the console. This than would run a JavaScript file that I wrote.

Basically I'm trying to avoid having to write this long command line when going from one computer to the other. So I can just run a task file depending on computer I'm on.

Normally, I would write: node "XXXXXX\XXXXX\XXX\app.js"

but at another location I might write: node "XXXXX/XXX/X/XX/XX/app.js"

So the task would be base on if I'm on the server verses local computer.

Is this possible?
