    Is there a way to start notepad++ with tail -f from command line for a *.txt or *.log file ?

        According this npp manual, no.

        A possible approach to this issue is use send keys tools, it can open npp with the file and then send the shortcut keys to set tel tail -f module.

        By the way this question give me a idea to request a cmd line key like this /macro=myMacro and will be possible extendo the npp processing including solving your problem.
