File Locking? #127

Open mojomojomojo opened 5 years ago

mojomojomojo commented 5 years ago

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

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.
