There are lots of service monitoring tools out there (probably the best known are Big Brother (http://www.bb4.com) and Nagios (http://www.nagios.org). I personally use Nagios, which can be configured to notify you via email, pager, or probably even carrier pigeon. It can be set up to monitor individual services, too, which a simple ping solution won't do; I find that it's far more common that, e.g., the samba *process* crashes rather than the samba *box*, and Nagios can tell me that. It can be a little bit of a bear to set up, but absolutely worth it, IMHO.
