mtail locks watched files on Windows and prevents deletion

[justai-net]

Heyo, new here.

Tested with 3.0.0-rc52
OS: Windows

Current environment produces log files with date/time strings in their file names, having to use glob expression with -logs .

Wanting to have:

• poll_interval 30s~
• poll_log_interval between 1-12 hrs

.\mtail.exe -logs "C:\somelogs\*\*.log" -progs "C:\mtail_programs\mtail" -poll_interval 30s -poll_log_interval 3h

Tested with --expired_metrics_gc_interval , --stale_log_gc_interval.

Is there a way for mtail to release files and directories?

Current Workaround
Having to create a scheduled task to create/remove symlinks to the desired date/time directories, which is then configured with -logs
