> tail -100lf log.txt | node ./webtail.js https://webtail.me/ox/log.txt
or it can read the file directly, in which case it behaves like tail -f:
> node ./webtail.js https://webtail.me/ox/log.txt log.txt
To generate new random paths, use the --new flag:
> node ./webtail.js --new https://webtail.me/ox myfile
