Yuri,
You could use ADSI to do this:

local locomputer, loservice

locomputer = getobject("WinNT://MyDomain/MyComputer,computer")
for each loservice in locomputer
   if upper(loservice.Class) = 'SERVICE' then
      do case
         case loservice.Status = 1
            * service stopped
            loservice.Start
         case loservice.Status = 4
            * service started
            loservice.Stop
      endcase
   endif
endfor

For more information, check out the IADsService interface in MSDN.
