Confirming Successful Server/Device Reboot

Hello

I've created a list with IP address to servers/devices I would like to reboot and have logged the following to the /tmp before:
-netstat -nrv
-/etc/rc2.d/netmask
-/etc/rc2.d/defaultrouter
-ifconfig -a

I would like to confirm that nothing changed after the reboot. I know this can be done manually but it would be good to have a script/one-liner to perform this function on the-fly.
In addition one of my core file logs every device that gets reboot. Finally confirm the the server/device did reboot from this log file

core log file is stored in /dir/dir/boot.###
When the device is reboot the boot.### displays:
"DATE 'IP' 'MAC' was rebooted successfully."

NAME
defaultrouter - configuration file for default router(s) SYNOPSIS
/etc/defaultrouter DESCRIPTION
The /etc/defaultrouter file specifies a IPv4 host's default router(s). The format of the file is as follows: IP_address ... The /etc/defaultrouter file can contain the IP addresses or hostnames of one or more default routers, with each entry on its own line. If you use hostnames, each hostname must also be listed in the local /etc/hosts file, because no name services are running at the time that defaultrouter is read. Lines beginning with the ``#'' character are treated as comments. The default routes listed in this file replace those added by the kernel during diskless booting. An empty /etc/defaultrouter file will cause the default route added by the kernel to be deleted. Use of a default route, whether received from a DHCP server or from /etc/defaultrouter, prevents a machine from acting as an IPv4 router. You can use routeadm(1M) to override this behavior. FILES
