Is there a way to invoke and execute a .ps1 file using REST/JSOM?
I am hoping to deploy a SharePoint Hosted App that runs a powershell script on the server.

dont think so, but you can call a custom service which will execute the csom code to deploy sharepoint hosted app – Gautam Sheth Jul 4 '17 at 8:52

@GautamSheth the sp hosted app should have the provision to invoke and run powershell scripts. So, the options with me are Rest and JSOM. Can you please elaborate? – Swayam Siddha Jul 4 '17 at 8:53

i dont think its possible to execute ps1 script from REST/JSOM. You can create a custom webservice(web api) on azure. This service will deploy the sp hosted app using CSOM code. – Gautam Sheth Jul 4 '17 at 9:19

Yes, You can call your executable powershell scripts *.ps1 using REST api as HTTP GET is supported by all programming language (javascript in your case).
