how to send an email if a service stops

Question

Hi all,

I have a remote PC and I would like to be alerted if a service of this remote PC stop running or even, in general, if this remote PC is approaching to reboot...

is there a way for doing that?

What I need is some way to catch/capture the event "the service X has stopped", and after to run some action (sending email for example)

thanks!

Ale
