"signal" is a technical term un Unix with a meaning different from what
I think you mean.

You can use a package called "mon" to monitor services (including on
other systems) to see what's running and to detect problems.
To detect when a system's rebooted, just add a script to /etc/init.d
(use others as a guide) to send you email when it's run. Don't forget to
enable it using chkconfig.
