We played around with this idea at one point as well. You can send
commands to systems through SSH, and this does include Windows systems
if you install OpenSSH on them. Once you have that in place you can
have OpenNMS trigger a script on specific events which will basically
attempt to restart the service.
Please note that I am just speaking from theory as we never fully
implemented this.

Subject: [opennms-discuss] Monitor and control a process?
Is there a way to monitor and control a process / daemon within OpenNMS?
Pretty straight forward, I want to monitor a process on a Linux server
(or Windows?) and if it goes down, I want to restart it. I know
snmpd.conf can be setup with a process monitor but that's about all I
know, I wasn't able to find much data on this control part.
Any suggestions or links that could point me in the right direction
would be appreciated.
Thanks
