I used to put a line in rc.local to email root that my server rebooted. Does anyone have a nice systemd unit file to do the same?
Also useful would be a shutdown email with the output of uptime. (I usually do that manually when rebooting for a kernel update.)

I would recommend to install logcheck and spend sometime to customize it for your needs. It would report if your server rebooted with dmesg inlined.

crontab has a @reboot pattern as an alternative
