Just to toss another fly in the ointment, it's dangerous to test a  
service by examining what Windows thinks it's doing. Many times a  
service says it's "up" but is actually dead.

It would be more reliable to write a plugin that would actually  
examine the service to see if it can/is actually working. For example,  
with a database, you can do a SELECT on a known quantity and compare  
the result to what it should be.

What specific service are you trying to monitor?
