Which probably means that apache has forked a daemon.

? You're mixing two different things. Either the application forks/exits
and cygrunsrv behaves as above. In that case there's no cygrunsrv process.
Or the child app doesn't fork and you should not kill cygrunsrv but send
a stop message by calling `cygrunsrv -E <svcname>' or `net stop <svcname>'.
In that case, cygrunsrv sends a SIGTERM to it's child application to
give it a chance to close it's service gracefully. Killing cygrunsrv
is somewhat violent.
