Simply tell the nagios server that the server is up in a regular time. And if someone triggers a reboot tell the nagios server that this happened. I assume you are asking for linux/unix servers? Then you could simply add send_nsca call to the reboot/halt script (before network will be shut down ;) and send a message to nagios, that the server reboots/shuts down.
