The best solution for you would be a render manager like Deadline. This manager can do all what you are asking for. It will send email reports, detect crashed rander, etc.It can be use on up to 2 machine for free, so even if you are only rendering on one machine you can still use it, the machine will be the server and the client...
Also I think the only way to detect a render crash is to run the render command through another process that can parse the output, this is how Deadline does it.
