Alternately you could trigger it on "system_normal is in state 'stopped'
for more than 1 minute" (which can't be specified yet IIRC, but that
should be fixable), on the theory that a reboot or restart shouldn't
take that long (you don't want a barrage of state emails every time you
restart things when upgrading, for instance).

"Send an event when there are no events" sounds like an internal
inconsistency waiting to happen. :-/
