No, how could it? When you reboot the system it 'goes away'
completely, when it comes back it might have a different name, have a
different IP address, be running a different OS and not even have an
ssh daemon running (so your terminal wouldn't be able to connect at
all).
When the Ubuntu distribution shuts down it does at least tell you
before going:-
chris@beaglebone$
Broadcast message from root@beaglebone
(unknown) at 16:05 ...
The system is going down for halt NOW!
Power button pressed
Connection to bbb closed by remote host.
Connection to bbb closed.
chris$
Then you can reconnect when the system is back up but you won't see
any of the boot sequence. To see what happened (with any errors) try
the dmesg command after you've logged in.
It's *possible* to have a serial console (i.e. a 'terminal') on a
Linux system at boot time and it will then show (some of) the shutdown
and reboot sequence but you have to reconfigure the boot files to do
this and it's non-trivial.
