The general management tool issue with this approach (the management 
server doing restarts rather than agents) is that network problems 
between the manager and agent may cause a restart to be kicked off when 
in fact all is OK. Nagios may deal with this by not checking services 
when hosts are down (comments on this welcome). At the moment I have 
restart scripts running as daemons on the servers themselves and just 
use Nagios as a monitor for this reason.
