How can I execute a Windows batch file from forever?

(cross post from StackOverflow)

I'm running Windows 10, and I would like to execute a Windows .bat script from forever (v3.0.0)

forever is installed globally and working fine, and I have successfully used to start other applications.

In this instance I am using a forever JSON config file that looks like:

{
  "uid": "MyApp",
  "command": "cmd.exe",
  "script": ["/c", ".\\scripts\\init-myApp.bat"],
  "sourceDir": "C:\\myApp",
  "logFile": "C:\\myApp\\forever.log",
  "outFile": "C:\\myApp\\out.log",
  "errFile": "C:\\myApp\\error.log",
  "append": true
}

This seems like this should be correct based these facts:

• this answer that shows how to execute a .bat file with spawn
• that forever is calling child_process.spawn under the hood
• that forever-monitor checks if script is an array and splits it in a way that should work

But when I try to run this, I receive a validator error:

internal/validators.js:120
    throw new ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE(name, 'string', value);
    ^

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received an instance of Array
    at validateString (internal/validators.js:120:11)
    at Object.join (path.js:375:7)

because forever/cli.js calls path.join on the script option before passing it along to forever-monitor

I have also tried these combinations:

{
  "uid": "MyApp",
  "command": "cmd.exe",
  "script": ".\\scripts\\init-myApp.bat",
  ...
}

which just starts cmd without executing the batch file, and

{
  "uid": "MyApp",
  "command": ["cmd.exe", "/c"],
  "script": ".\\scripts\\init-myApp.bat",
  ...
}

which throws an error in forever-monitor because it assumes command will be a string, not an array.

Is there any way I can pass the necessary /c argument through?
