The script looks at the last uptime counter value, and if it is within 8
minutes (I think) of the 32-bit rollover, then it does not alarm regardless
of the current value of the counter.

So, it¹s theoretically possible to miss an unwanted reboot, if it happens
within 8 minutes of the max 32-bit counter value.

Hello,

I faced the same issue, but coped with it giving me a false alert from time
to time.
Didn't check the script yet, but I'm willing to use it.

Mike, how does your script manage to do the difference when a server is
rebooted or reboots itself, and the counter rolling over?
