3. 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:

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

• Type: Boolean

If true, npm does not run scripts specified in package.json files.

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.
