SOLUTION: Implement UNIX tail command in Java - Periodic File Writer Code Demo 3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNIX tail command displays the last part of a file on the unix or linux server. Even if the file is being updated currently, tail command will display the latest data appended to the file in real-time. Thus, tail command is very useful in monitoring a running application logs.

Write a program to implement the same tail command like method in Java. Assume that tail method takes two arguments - a filename, and the number of lines, starting from the last line, that are to be printed.

Follow up
Implement the tail method for a running log file (appended in real-time).
