you could monitor it by passive checks with NSCA. Simply tell the nagios 
server that the server is up in a regular time. And if someone triggers a 
reboot tell the nagios server that this happened. 
I assume you are asking for linux/unix servers? Then you could simply add 
send_nsca call to the reboot/halt script (before network will be shut down ;) 
and send a message to nagios, that the server reboots/shuts down.
