OK.

$USER1$/check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -u -c CheckServiceState -a
   ShowAll "$ARG1$"="$ARG2$"

Then, in your Nagios service command definition, call that command
with two arguments:

1) The service name from the Windows services snap-in
2) started or stopped, according to what state you want the service
   to be in during normal operation

On our Windows systems, we monitor a basic set of standard services:

* Disk volume space
* CPU utilization
* Memory utilization
* My NSClient++ version
* My NSClient++ configuration version
* My plugins version
* Windows version (for informational purposes only)
