CGminer as a service? Centralized management for multiple rigs?

[animentis]

I am putting together a small farm of alt-coin rigs.  I'd like to be able to manage them programmatically if possible from a centralized system.  I'd like to be able to stop, start, and switch pools.  It seems that setting cgminer up as a service that takes the pool information as parameters would be a way to start...  but aside from not knowing the best way to go about this - is there a better solution?
