hi, I'm writing a custom logger plugin on a windows server that logs to one of my rest services, running "select value from osquery_extensions;" from osqueryi gives "\\.\pipe\shell.em", running the same query from osqueryd schedule gives "\\.\pipe\osquery.em", when my plugin runs, it hangs on connecting to the named pipe, I wonder how I can fix it.

On windows, names pipes are in their own pseudo file systems. The pipe part denotes that. You can't find it on the filesystem directly.
