Yes, but you'll need to send SIGHUP to the program process, and not to the corresponding cygrunsrv process, since, IIRC, cygrunsrv itself will unconditionally terminate the child daemon on SIGHUP (and SIGTERM, and SIGQUIT, and SIGINT). Corinna, perhaps cygrunsrv should pass explicit SIGHUPs to the child instead (unless --termsig is HUP)? Or, better yet, pass the signal to send as an argument to terminate_child()?
