I don't know if the title was clear enough, but I will try to explain
it better now, I have a service (daemon) and then I would like to stop
or pause this service, but I want to do this for them myself, I tried
to add a SimpleIPCServer and send a message, but it doesn’t work, has
anyone been through this and could help me?

Actually, the provided example does what you need.
Note the Daemon itself needs a controller, because it has no GUI
interaction.
See packages/fcl-extra/examples

If that is not what you mean, you CAN make a daemon (or service in
Windows speak) terminate itself based on a certain condition or timer,
but it is not clear to me what you mean.

I will try to explain better, I want to interact with the service, but
not through the windows control, I want to interact through my
application, so I tried to use the simpleipcserver, I will set up an
example, to try to explain better.

Here is an example of what I’m trying to do, I believe it’s easier to
understand.

hi
You could setup a tcp server in your daemon and just communicate with
that. I think Synapse would be a good choice, not much overhead...
Have a look at the Echo example...
just my 2 cents
