If the current project has a "restart" script specified in package.json, then the following scripts will be run:
- prerestart
- restart
- postrestart
If it does not have a "restart" script specified, but it does have stop and/or start scripts, then the following scripts will be run:
- prerestart
- prestop
- stop
- poststop
- prestart
- start

- 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 <pkg> commands.
