Did someone restart the server over night?

Sometimes, when you are running lenghty integration jobs over night, you get in the office the next morning, and may be surprised that nothing has completed. And actually nothing is running anymore.

Today was such a Day for me. Last night I started the execution of a package via remote desktop and DTSExec Util. This morning, my job was gone from the session, and no where to be found in the Task Manager. So, did someone restart the server over night? (could even be a stupid auto Windows update setting rebooting the machine)

I found this piece of Powershell to tell, if the Event Log Service was stopped:

PS C:\get-eventlog system | where-object {$_.eventid -eq 6006} | select -first 10

At least it tells you quickly, if the suspicion has something to it.
