# Shut down

To shut down an SDK, use the `close` method. This will cleanly stop all its background processes, flush all its buffered logs and terminate all its connections:

```typescript
process.on("SIGTERM", async () => {
  const hypertune = await getHypertune();
  await hypertune.close();
});
```

```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
