Probably not.  ipc-daemon has code built in to it, which provides the 
"run as service" hooks; it doesn't rely on cygrunsrv to provide those hooks.

On WinNT/2K/XP, you can use "net stop ipc-daemon" -- or "kill <pid>". 
However, that doesn't help you on W9x/Me.

If it's running in the background in a bash/tcsh/zsh shell, then you can 
"fg" foreground it, and then CTRL-C it.

If somehow it is running in daemon mode on W9x, and you have no controlling terminal, then you might be out of luck.  You could try CTRL-ALT-DEL and then kill the process from the task list that Windows will show you...


Sorry, but Win9x is really brain dead....
