I would start looking at why they are stopping - not just force the restart.

From time to time Information Store and IMS services stop. I have configured Exchange monitor so that first action will restart the services - if couldn't restart services then second action is to restart the whole Exchange server. Apparently it is not working. I stopped I.S service but Exchange monitor didn't restart the service. I am not sure if there is any thing else to be done on Exchange so that it will restart the stopped service.
