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()?

If there's any real truth it's that the entire multidimensional infinity
