I succedded to implement a such mechanism described in MSDN library :

 - In the main() server.c, call SetConsoleCtrlHandler(my_handler, TRUE)
 - don't forget to include <windows.h>
 - implement   char WINAPI my_handler (DWORD dwCtrlType) and treat
signals...

I can catch CTRL-C, CTRL-BREAK and DOS windows closing.

Thanks for your interest to my request. Hope this will help somebody
