<h1><a href="../cli/npm-restart.html">npm-restart</a></h1> <p>Restart a package</p>
<h2 id="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</h2>
<pre><code>npm restart [-- &lt;args&gt;]
</code></pre><h2 id="description">DESCRIPTION</h2>
<p>This restarts a package.</p>
<p>This runs a package&#39;s &quot;stop&quot;, &quot;restart&quot;, and &quot;start&quot; scripts, and associated
pre- and post- scripts, in the order given below:</p>
<ol>
<li>prerestart</li>
<li>prestop</li>
<li>stop</li>
<li>poststop</li>
<li>restart</li>
<li>prestart</li>
<li>start</li>
<li>poststart</li>
<li>postrestart</li>
</ol>
<h2 id="note">NOTE</h2>
<p>Note that the &quot;restart&quot; script is run <strong>in addition to</strong> the &quot;stop&quot;
and &quot;start&quot; scripts, not instead of them.</p>
<p>This is the behavior as of <code>npm</code> major version 2. A change in this
behavior will be accompanied by an increase in major version number</p>
