You could adapt these time delay and missing pulse detector circuits.

Right if I want to use a pulse time of about 10mins (not critical) am I
right in thinking that I can use a 10M resisitor and a 50uF capacitor?
(would give about 550 seconds) Is this pulse too long for the 555, and does
it matter what combination is used between resistor/capacitor?
