The terminal approach is much more comprehensive. For example I did a grep -r --include="*.log" reboot . and was able to immediately see what caused the most recent reboot on my mac.

I cannot find the logs in /var/log or /var/log/com.apple.launchd on macOS 10.12 Sierra. Have these logs been moved?

For OS X 10.10 Yosemite it's under /var/log/com.apple.launchd/launchd-shutdown.system.log.
