What are you currently unable to do

Currently when an exec is run, it returns with an error if the agent is not running.

As discussed in the forum, it would be nice to have a wait-for-agent flag, which would keep the exec session open, until the vm/container has a running agent.

What do you think would need to be added

As also discussed in the forum, since incus has no information whether the agent is running or not, the only way to implement this would be to loop internally.

To prevent clogging up resources forever (in case the agent never starts) we should also implement a fixed reasonable timeout (e.g. 60s).
