Devcontainer over ssh hanging forever when wsl2 vm has freezed.

[ggjulio]

Sometimes when reconnecting to remote VMs, the reconnection hangs foreverer on wsl -l -v This issue happen when the local wsl2 VM is frozen.

Not sure why it run wsl commands when connecting to a linux remote VM. But maybe we could add a timeout when wsl -l -v takes too much time.

Here is a workaround, open an admin terminal and kill the service :

taskkill /f /im wslservice.exe

It will kill the VM. If docker desktop is installed and running, it will automatically restart wsl2.
