Instructions

Create a class called RestartMonitor that can read from the attached log file and report the dates and times that system restarts occurred.

Your RestartMonitor class should have the ability to work with any specified log file name, it should be able to search for system restarts and report on those restarts independently (i.e. searching for and showing the restarts do not have to happen at the same time), and duplicate restarts should not be shown.

Restarts can be identified in the log file by the word "restarting" that will occur in those lines.
