INFO: Service Dependencies Not Used During Shutdown

SUMMARY

When a service is dependendent on other services, the Service Control Manager (SCM) will automatically start the dependencies before starting the dependent service itself. However, during system shutdown, the SCM does not take dependencies into consideration when stopping services. It simply enumerates the list of running services and sends a SERVICE_CONTROL_SHUTDOWN command to all of them. Thus, a service may stop responding or fail because another service it depends upon has already stopped.
