# npm-stop(1)

## NAME

**npm-stop**

## Synopsis

\<!-- AUTOGENERATED USAGE DESCRIPTIONS --\>

## Description

This runs a predefined command specified in the "stop" property of a\
 package's "scripts" object.

Unlike with npm start, there is no default script\
 that will run if the **&quot;stop&quot;** property is not defined.

## Example

```
{
  "scripts": {
    "stop": "node bar.js"
  }
}
```

```
npm stop
> npm@x.x.x stop
> node bar.js
(bar.js output would be here)
```
