I have a RedHat 7.2 server that has rebooted all by itself. There was no one logged 
into the machine at the time. The log files have nothing to indicate a problem. It 
looks like a reboot could have been performed at the console by sending a 
ctrl-alt-del. But the server is in a secure area.

Here is a snippet from the messages file;
