Feature request: Run as Service for external tools feature (email)

[mortenodum]

The externals tools feature can be used for sending emails, etc. This could be nice to be able to set up without being logged in (remote servers). Maybe SnakeTail could run as a service that solely looks in the log files for triggering external tools?

I have a small project called SnakeEyes, that is very close to what you describe. SnakeEyes runs as a windows service and monitors different event-sources (Windows Performance Counters, EventLog, Text-files) and when a trigger-event occurs then it can execute actions. Though it is very rough on the edges (Configuration happens through an xml-file using Notepad). Like the idea of code reuse between SnakeTail and SnakeEyes, but right now I'm still working on getting SnakeTail into a state where this can happen.
