Event handler for remote Win2K box

I have a flaky service on a remote (from my Nagios server) 
Win2K server.  We're working on solving the cause for the 
flakiness, but in the meantime, we know the symptom for the 
critical point in the flakiness and how to resolve the issue 
before the service craps itself completely.

I have a batch script which restarts the service, but at the 
moment one of my team has to log into the server using Radmin 
and run it.  What I'd like to do is set up an event handler 
based on the known problem level.

Can anyone offer me some advice on how to build (or if it's 
even possible) an event handler script to run from the Nagios 
server to connect to the remote box and restart the appropriate server.

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?  Would it be easier to set 
up a scheduled task on the Win2K box to simply restart the 
service when it's about to go critical?

Steve
