File Locking?
When I use snaketail to monitor a log file, if I try to delete the file (via cmdline DEL), it succeeds, sort-of. The file doesn't exactly exist
- I can't delete it again. (ACCESS_DENIED)
- It does show up in a DIR listing).
- Snaketail shows me the contents.
- When I close Snaketail, the file goes away.
- Attempts (by my app) to write to the file in the meantime, "succeed," but that data never makes it to the file.
My expectation was that if I delete the file, Snaketail will (eventually) figure it out and show me the usual "the file doesn't exist" message, until the file is recreated.
Pull-Requests are welcome to make the file-monitor even better.
