Perhaps the windows service could toggle a flag (or update a field with the current date/time) in a network-readable file (html,txt,csv,dat) when the service is running. With the flag option, the flag would be retoggled (back to the original value) when the service terminates. With the field option, the process running on the remote node would check to see when the last time the service updated the field, and if it was "recently" then the process could proceed to attempt the remoting call. Whaddya think? The description of the issue is a little hard to follow.
