Services Script

I don't have such a script, but here's how I'd do it:

Assuming you're using NRPE-NT: 

1.  Configure a check for the particular service you're wanting to
monitor.
2.  Write a quick little batch file that has something like this in it:

net stop "service"
net start "service"

3.  Add a "check" into your NRPE-NT config that uses that batch script
as the "check" script
4.  Craft an event handler script that calls check_nrpe for the "check"
script you just created when it is appropriate to do so.
5.  Add your new service and eventhandler into services.cfg for the
particular host(s) in question.

And, that should do it.  Just be sure you've got access to NRPE-NT
nailed down tight so you don't have neerdowells restarting your service
all day.  :-)
