How can I do that? One thing that comes to mind is a program that invokes the command you want on SIGHUP, installed as a service with cygrunsrv that will terminate at shutdown, with HUP as the termination signal. Beware, though, that services have a certain period of time in which to stop, after which the service process will be terminated by Windows. If I were you, I'd look into using the Windows hooks for this, instead.
