Please add an option for disabling default tail

[mreza-kiani]

Hi
Thanks for your great product! But it has some misses which seem really useful. For example grep option which there is a pull request which adds this feature. And another essential feature is some option that helps me to get all log of the pods not from now on, I mean not applying tail option. Can you add this feature too?

@mreza-kiani I've added a comment in the grep PR , please answer :)

I'm not sure how easy it would be to disable tail since "kubetail" (as the name implies) is built for the sole purpose of tailing. I can see that this use case would be valid though. Maybe you could have a go and provide a PR?

Yeah, your answer on grep PR was valid.
About disabling tail, I saw there is a --tail option in your help menu, and because of that I thought it would act as --tail option in kubectl log command for instance: kubectl logs -f <pod_name> --tail 1000
Disabling tail is not necessary, but start get some logs before now would be a useful option.
I would check if I can add this option or not.

Yes you can already get historic logs. Either do "kubetail my-pod -s 30m" (for 30 minutes) or use the "--tail" option.
