The next thing that comes to mind is to parse the CF server.log file for the instance you are targeting. There are log entries for stopping and starting in there. But I¹m guessing you are wanting this to be used as an alert not post-portem investigation.
There are plenty of infrastructure monitoring applications and 3rd party services out there for monitoring your production servers (including the services). My company uses PRTG for performance/service monitoring (http://www.paessler.com/prtg) to cover all of our different servers. Im mostly responsible for the health of our CF servers though and FusionReactor works great for me. If you set it up correctly, it can notify you of service availability changes. None of the above actual means that a server was ³rebooted² though and a CF service stopping/starting also doesn¹t mean that someone manually triggered it. Also, keep in mind that something running ON the server that is supposed to send you this email is probably not going to work if its running on the service you are trying to monitor.
