What is the easiest way to implement a self restarting service

I have got a windows service written in .NET and I need to be able to implement a self-restarting feature for it.

E.g. service constantly monitors the environment in runs in and once a value of the environmental variable reaches its threashold value the service must restart itself.

What would be the easiest way to do it?

+3  A: 

Write a Service to start the Service!

Simple as it sounds, that's the common approach I have seen.

You don't need to have 2 services unless you are supporting windows 98 or earlier.
