It's not possible in JavaScript. You could use a platform-dependent scripting language to do the job and have it call the JavaScript.

You could attach your script to a suitable selection of menuActions so that the user unknowingly triggers your script each time he uses any of the menuActions.

Ideally, an idle message would be used so that the script runs when the user isn't doing anything (as opposed to when he is) but I don't think such a thing is accessible to JavaScript.
