Good question. One possibility is a "traffic light" gadget I developed:

If you check the PG built-in samples, there's also a demo using
computers to indicate their status by either red or green (or similar).

Re: powergadget : detect service is down

actually traffic light may not be necessary, how about using digital panel
to state "1" as service is uo, "0" means service down ?

Oops! That comes from www.codeplex.com/powershellcx.

I can either:
1. Provide you .NET code to call from PowerShell to do the same thing.
or
2. Help you do that digital gauge that might just say "UP" or "DOWN".

Pick #1 or #2 or both!

#1:
PSH> ./ping|out-gauge -type digital
PSH> get-content ping.ps1
$computer="localhost"

$ping= new-object System.Net.NetworkInformation.Ping
$response=$ping.send($computer)

if ($response.Status -eq "Success")
{
$computer+" is up"
}
else
{
$computer+" is down"
}

#2:
Using .NET to get a random number:
PSH> $rand=new-object System.Random
PSH> $rand.Next(0,5) <--Gives a random number, only 0,1,2,3 or 4
3
PSH> $rand.Next(0,5)
4
PSH> $rand.Next(0,5)
1
