npm restart

##
Restart a package

###
Synopsis

    npm restart [-- <args>]

###
Description

This restarts a package.

This runs a package's "stop", "restart", and "start" scripts, and associated pre- and post- scripts, in the order given below:

1. prerestart
2. prestop
3. stop
4. poststop
5. restart
6. prestart
7. start
8. poststart
9. postrestart

###
Note

Note that the "restart" script is run in addition to the "stop" and "start" scripts, not instead of them.

This is the behavior as of `npm` major version 2. A change in this behavior will be accompanied by an increase in major version number
