Hi, first of all, thanks for this really cool tool! It is exactly what I need to share some server logs.

For that, I tried the SSH configuration with daemonize enabled, but it does not work for me, it's always using the false branch on tail.js (local execution).

This is the command I execute:

frontail --remote-host REMOTE_IP --remote-user REMOTE_USER -p 7777 -n 50  --ui-highlight default.json -d --log-path /tmp/frontail.log REMOTE_PATH_TO_MY_LOG

Adding this trace:

console.log("SSH OPTIONS: " + program.remoteHost + " - " + program.remoteUser + " - " + program.remotePort);

it returns "SSH OPTIONS: null - root - 22", although I passed the variables

On the other hand, removing the daemonize commands, it works as expected.

I believe that the sshOptions variable is not set when daemonizing the program. I'd try to fix it by myself, but I'm not a node expert :S

Thanks!
