--- title: npm-stop section: 1 description: Stop a package --- ### Synopsis ```bash npm stop [-- <args>] ``` ### Description This runs a predefined command specified in the "stop" property of a package's "scripts" object. Unlike with [npm start](/commands/npm-start), there is no default script that will run if the `"stop"` property is not defined. ### Example ```json { "scripts": { "stop": "node bar.js" } } ``` ```bash npm stop > npm@x.x.x stop > node bar.js (bar.js output would be here) ``` ### Configuration #### `ignore-scripts` * Default: false * Type: Boolean If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files. Note that commands explicitly intended to run a particular script, such as `npm start`, `npm stop`, `npm restart`, `npm test`, and `npm run-script` will still run their intended script if `ignore-scripts` is set, but they will *not* run any pre- or post-scripts. #### `script-shell` * Default: '/bin/sh' on POSIX systems, 'cmd.exe' on Windows * Type: null or String The shell to use for scripts run with the `npm exec`, `npm run` and `npm init <package-spec>` commands. ### See Also * [npm run-script](/commands/npm-run-script) * [npm scripts](/using-npm/scripts) * [npm test](/commands/npm-test) * [npm start](/commands/npm-start) * [npm restart](/commands/npm-restart)
