Good on you.
I can see no reason not to if it works for you.

Recently, I started monitoring a remote service that was failing
regularly. It would send me an alert and I'd go fix the service. I got
tired of having to do the restarts so I
looked a bit more into alerts.cfg. Yes, I can send an alert via a script
(do that all the time for sms)... Wait... Can that script do anything
else? Well, I'll be! I wrote one
to ssh into the offending system (key based authentication) and perform
simple diags, collects relevant logs then restart the downed service.
I have seen a number of times, "xymon/bigbrother doesn't restart things".
Thoughts? Concerns?
