Is there a program in that comes with fedora to monitor services and mail me when one goes down?
Ooooohhhhhh.... that's a big question.
The standard answer id to look at Nagios and Opennms http://www.nagios.org http://www.opennms.org
Then again, for one machine these may be overkill.
You could Cheops which does monitoring http://www.marko.net/cheops/
You can get it to ping (http, DNS,...) every (say) hour
and trigger an action which will email you.
Plenty of other utilities out there for network monitoring -
just go to Freshmeat and search.
