No. Windows doesn't support the sending of signals between processes
(with the exception of an equivalent of SIGKILL). I guess this explains
why server processes running on Windows need to be shutdown and
restarted (at least) if you change their configuration -- there's no
(convenient or standardised) way of doing the equivalent of SIGHUP.
