It gives you the system environment plus everything specified by the -e

I'm guessing that jabber is by default using fork/exec. Why didn't
you just leave it this way?
A look into the jabberd sources should give a hint which signal is
expected. In theory there should be a signal handler which then cares
for jabberd's child process. Assuming it is a SIGHUP handler, send
SIGHUP from cygrunsrv. Cygrunsrv has no idea about child processes
started from it's inferior process. It's the responsibility of that
process to care for its children. This is different from the situation
in the shell where a Ctrl-C results in a SIGINT sent to all processes
not detached from the console. A process started with spawn(_P_NOWAIT)
is not detached from the console.
Debugging jabberd might give a clue, too.
