in /etc/rc.sysinit or /etc/rc.d/rc.local other "bootup scripts"
#
date > /tmp/x
hostname -f >> /tmp/x
#
mail -s "help - i've been rebooted" you < /tmp/x

if log check is not checking other stuff...
- add it to its lists to check for
or on each server, use a new script via cron
df and/or ls -la /net/*/foo/bar
cat /proc/mounts too
and email the result it its not as expected
teach people or put into corp security policty that
nobody reboots any servers that other people mounts
( mail, web, home, printers, etc
- use automounters for all servers
people can reboot their own local pc on their desk as often as
they like .. as long as nobody else mounts that pc to other pcs/servers
