I have no idea how much this is related but we maintain a virtual host
with VPSLink and received an e-mail from them about the hosting server
being rebooted for maintenance about 13 hours ago.

As for monitoring it - you might want to check services like pingdom
and gomez to "ping" your server. You can define checks for multiple
things so, for instance, it can access a specified URL every X minutes
and look for a specific string in the output, allowing you to trigger
a CGI script.
