That would be great. I'd like to add a few more features that would enable
the GUI to display more information about plugins/receivers, so perhaps we
could do that after?  Next week?

Fantastic.

Yeah, I think start/stop is appropriate at the plugin level.  However, it
would be great if there was a pause function though for Receivers.  For a
Receiver, this would mean nothing more than a getter/setter method, and the
ability to propogate the pause action down to any child things (like
SocketNodes). TO explain where I am coming from, for an actual SocketNode
itself, I had visions of a pause function, where the socket is kept open,
but all decoded events are just discarded, even before being passed to it's
associated receiver.  That way you could un-pause a socket, and immediately
start seeing logs, withou having to rely on a reconnection attempts (which
depending on your config, might not be timely enough for the user).

This, in conjunction with the receiver start/stop/pause, would mean a user
could stop/pause a specific SocketNode, or stop/pause a whole Receiver,
which would in turn stop/pause any children.

cheers,

Paul Smith
