When mondo runs an alarm command (like an abrupt power-down), it should leave a message in the syslogs, just to let you know that an alarm condition got tripped. Usually you can catch this message immediately after reboot by doing “grep mondo /var/log/messages” and checking near the end of output. To configure mondo properly (so it doesn’t do this all the time), see the answer to question (8).
