npm-run-script(1) -- Run arbitrary package scripts

SYNOPSIS

npm run-script [<pkg>] [command]
npm run [<pkg>] [command]

DESCRIPTION

This runs an arbitrary command from a package's "scripts" object. If no package name is provided, it will search for a package.json in the current folder and use its "scripts" object. If no "command" is provided, it will list the available top level scripts.

It is used by the test, start, restart, and stop commands, but can be called directly, as well.
