Moving document without creating tasks

I'm thinking about making an advanced workflow that directly moves a file from folder to folder without initiating any task.
I've tried deleting everything I think is related to task until my processdefinition.xml is left as such:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<process-definition xmlns="urn:jbpm.org:jpdl-3.1" name="wfl:lifecycleapproval">


            <action class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.jbpm.AlfrescoJavaScript">
                <!– Apply the Workflow Lifecycle Aspect (wfl:status) if not set already. Note: The default wfl:status property is draft –>
<runas>admin</runas>             
   <script>
                    var dest = companyhome.childByNamePath(bpm_moveDestination);
for (var i = 0 ; i &lt; bpm_package.children.length; i++)
{
bpm_package.children.move(dest);
}
                </script>
            </action>
     
</process-definition>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

But when I call this workflow through js, it still runs as a task.

My question is, is it actually possible to use a workflow to do file movement without starting a task?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried creating a sequence flow between start and end and then adding your script as an execution listener on the sequence flow?

    <sequenceFlow id="flow1" sourceRef="startevent1" targetRef="endevent1">
      <extensionElements>
        <activiti:executionListener event="start" class="org.alfresco.repo.workflow.activiti.listener.ScriptExecutionListener">
          <activiti:field name="script">
            <activiti:string><![CDATA[logger.log("Hello, World!");]]></activiti:string>
          </activiti:field>
        </activiti:executionListener>
      </extensionElements>
    </sequenceFlow>
