I'm partial to using pslist.exe from the SysInternals site. Its a good way of tracking memory or cpu usage, as well as providing a PID, in case you need to terminate a process.
Starting an operating service can start an Oracle Instance, but not
necessarily.
(e.g. ORA_%ORACLE_SID%_AUTOSTART = FALSE).
There's lots of goodies there in the pstools suite, such as pskill.exe.
psinfo -h -d provides a nice report as to free space, uptime, service pack and applied hotfixes. pipe it to blat.exe and you'll know alot about your servers without logging onto a console.
Most of their utilities are free as in speech (include source), and free as in beer, but read the license there anyways.
hth.
