If we keep following this train of thought. You get emailed unusual
log entries every hour. Let's say that whatever process you use to
generate this warning email also triggers a reboot.  Then you would
get a reboot an hour after there was an unusual event like a reboot.
Could this be what is happening? Can you stop the email warnings and
see if the reboots stop.
