You could have user and service modes like VNC does.  To start with, you
could simply have options to start/stop/restart the service. Makes it
easier than talking someone through going into services. Quick for
admins too.

I'm working on this right now. Will probably get finished later tonight...


The tail -f option on the log file would be very good.

I've implemented a "View Log" function in my latest beta. This is done simply by calling an external program to view to logfile.


The easiest way to implement "tail -f" would be to just call another viewer that is capable of "following the file" like the "tail -f" command.

I have seen atleast one opensource windows application that can do this, "Tail for Win32", available from:

http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/tailforwin32

However, this program is currently not able to accept a filename to open on the commandline, so I can't call it from my gui. This issue is filed as a bug on sourceforge, and there is a description on how to fix it.

If someone has the time todo this, or knows of another viewer with "tail -f" functionality it would be great...
