Windows srvany.exe and service STOP

I've read the many answers online on how to use SRVANY.exe to create a Windows service out of anything. My service is a batch file that sets up the environment (i need to set env vars and map drives) and then spawns my c++ app. But when i do a NET STOP, the srvany.exe process goes away, and my c++ app stays alive. Is there any way to have it killed when it receives the stop command? I'd need to be able to bounce it in case of any config file changes.

The reason i picked cmd shell is the easy drive mapping. In theory i can wrap it with either perl or python, whichever is easier to get this behavior, but then i'd need to shell out anyway to map the drives. Does this make sense?
