DID IT REBOOT? 
If you believe your users
 like to reboot their systems,
 here is a way you will be
 able to detect it.
 
 
 #!/bin/ksh
 #
 # Boot Notification Script
 # /etc/rc2.d/S99notify - Sends e-mail notification to the
 administrators
 # when the system is booted.
 #
 
 #*****************************************************************
 
 PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
 
 DATE="`date`"
 
 SRVNM=`uname -n`
 
 # The next variable can be set for multiple addresses
 # (i.e. jsmith@yahoo.com,jsmith@hotmail.com)
 MAILADD=monitor
 
 mail $MAILADD <
From: $0
 To: $MAILADD
 Subject: Boot of $SRVNM
