If there is a stop; you get a SIGTERM in the log. For a restart; there is a SIGHUP. For a graceful; no signals, just a message. Alternatively, if you have mod_server_status, you could poll it. The server uptime is reset to zero if there is a stop/start or restart, but keeps ticking if there is a graceful.
