One way to check on a system reboot I've used before is with NagEventLog. We
use NagEventLog to look for certain errors posted to the system/app eventlogs.
Note these are "passive" checks so how soon you get notified will depend on the
configuration of said passive checks as well as Nagios config. NagEventLog is
reasonably configurable to filter our or only look for specific events such as
an "unexpected shutdown".

Subject: [Nagios-users] Nagios Reboot Notification
Marc,
I don't think this will work for me ...reason being Nagios will do its check,
lets say every minute. If the server reboots unexpectedly and comes up in
between that check period, Nagios will never see the reboot. I could be wrong,
but is that not accurate?
Other application will notify you as soon as the server shuts down or reboots.
Is this because its being monitored differently or different checks are being
executed. As a Nagios newb, it seems that Nagios has cycles of running checks
that the user defines.
But I would like to try you suggestion. Will I simply add the define command
in the commands.cfg config file and then reference that with the check_command
in the hosts.cfg file?
Thanks,
Kevin M.
