Signal tinc under Windows

[Graham Smith]

Hi Scott,

"--kill=[SIGNAL]" -  Sadly doesn't look like an option. According to the
docs: "Under native Windows the optional argument is ignored, the service
will always be stopped and removed."

I'll have to sleep on the source code route

Thanks for your thoughts.

Kind regards
Graham Smith

I don't use Windows, but from a glance over tincd.c, there's a
"--kill=[SIGNAL]" argument that emulates this behavior.

Also, the 1.1 branch has a "tincctl" program which is more flexible than
sending signals. I don't know if it works with Windows or not (do they have
Unix-domain sockets?) but if not a Windows developer could probably make it
use the local equivalent easily.
