can nagios take some pro-active actions?

[Leonardo Carneiro]

hello everyone.

Started to play with Nagios a few days ago and i'm very excited with it. 
I have a very small setup (2 linux server being monitored via npre by a 
third linux server) and i'd wrote some bash scripts to monitor some of 
the services that we run on those services (proprietary services, 
non-standard ones like ssh, apache and that stuff).

I know Nagios can send sms, email and other things to warn 
administrators about problems, but can Nagios take any action to fix the 
problem, like restart the service if reach critical state, or restart 
the service if the service stays critical for more than 5 minutes?

If yes, can someone just point me to the direction i should go? :)

Tks in advance, and sorry about my poor english. I'm from Brazil.
