Try PandoraFMS (www.pandorafms.com) it has either agents or remote
monitoring available.

The alerts are pretty flexible so as you can define scripts in the alert
you might be able to start/stop services and stuff as long as you know
how to do it remotely (if it's linux, expect would do the trick).
The windows agent has natively a way to allow remote services/apps
execution if you enable it.

Everything is done from a web interface and you can define different
users and roles on it.

Hope this helps
Manuel.
