Don't know if this helps but V6.00.02b4 will include

MM.INFO(BOOT)

returns POWER, RESET, or WATCHDOG depending on what cause the firmware to restart.
Permanent OPTION commands and CPU RESTART will both report WATCHDOG as will a real H/W watchdog. Both a H/W and software watchdog will set MM.WATCHDOG to 1


Spectacular   All these refinements are enough to give me heart palpitations   Like tailor-made, just-in-time for my needs.

My original need was; initializing the zero-position of servo axes (big-ish machine) can be a PITA (slow). I needed the flag to indicate that the machine had/had-not been referenced.
