Depends on what the service is designed to do. When you send a stop message to a service, the service gets a chance to do whatever it needs to do. This shows up as a call to your overridden ServiceMain.OnStop() in .NET. Some service may handle finishing of processing quickly. Other services might just kill child processes.
