If I've correcly understood, It sounds like a monitoring of service? If yes, then for such case there is a "Monitor Solution" solution product in SMS/ITMS suite.
Using "Monitor Agent" and properly created Monitor Policy, you can monitor "Service" state of any available services or monitor "NT Events"l -> according to rule condition it will triggers a rule whether service is started or stopped and you can even set a task for such case to receive an email when rule triggers.
