Agent loses access to terminal

[GuyMitchy]

Agent zero and subordinates are losing access to the terminal. They initially have access and can create files and folders and execute code. They then cannot find files they have made and lose access to the terminal entirely, cannot ls or reboot terminal.

I'm facing a problem where my agents keep losing connection to the container, even though the container itself is still running. After about 5 minutes of operation, the connection drops, and the only way to restore it is by restarting the agent. This is a serious issue!

[GuyMitchy]

Yea @AlexTracks Just realised that that i what my issue is. Its explained as a known issue in the readme.
