Synopsis
npm restart [-- <args>]
Description
This restarts a project.  It is equivalent to running npm run-script
restart.
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
 - poststart
 - postrestart
 
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.
