In days gone by I had a need for this. The nasty way was to create a 
file on shutdown and delete the file on boot up.
If the file was not there, we hadn't shutdown correctly.

I think the better solution would be to find out why your IR device does 
not work, there is not a lot of difference between a boot after shutdown 
and a boot after a power failure...
