Look into kafka :

From first looks seems to be a solution for dealing with live data

Not for user email but use it to create server dashboard tracking different types of jobs going on, loads on server etc maybe.

Send html forms with prefilled data and hidden fields for pausing, resuming and killing.

intput type="hidden" will hide that field
