There are event handlers which, according to the docs, will run a 
command to try and recover the service before sending a notification, 
but I haven't (yet) implemented them, so you'd have to have a look at 
the manual.  You'd need to write the script yourself, it's impossible 
for Nagios to know how to bring a service up, or even if it was the 
service that had failed and not an underlying problem, such as networking.
