Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/mthenw/frontail/issues/137

The lib ~~node-tail~~ tail enables to start/stop watch:

tail.watch();

tail.unwatch();

It's very good for many logs in little time when necessary analyse the log, so watch stop and after, start watch again.

It would be interesting to add this feature in this project as well.

I have an application that generates many logs.

@mthenw Not, really is: https://www.npmjs.com/package/tail

Suggestion:

1 - Use this lib I quoted;
2 - Create the similar feature in this project;

I've been thinking about switching to this library (which also means supporting Windows OS) but there is no way to set an initial number of lines. Not sure how it will perform. I need to test it.

I understand, meanwhile, in the current implementation, is it possible to add this stop and continue feature?

Technically it's possible, but I'm probably not able to spend time on that. Are you interested in contributing?
