Yes, as per the docs, it sends control-C, WM_CLOSE, WM_QUIT and then forcibly terminate. So when you execute "nssm stop service-name", it must be sending control-C. However, openvpn terminates writing nothing to the log and without the EXIT message to the management interface. Nor does it send exit-notify to the remote. Looking at the code, it appears SIGTERM and SIGINT are not handled on windows (does windows even have those signals?) so nssm sending control-C may not be work with openvpn. So the question is how to modify openvpn so that it will terminate on control-C on windows? Thanks, Selva
