Just to toss another fly in the ointment, it's dangerous to test a
service by examining what Windows thinks it's doing. Many times a
service says it's "up" but is actually dead.
It would be more reliable to write a plugin that would actually
examine the service to see if it can/is actually working. For example,
with a database, you can do a SELECT on a known quantity and compare
the result to what it should be.
What specific service are you trying to monitor?
