# setupGracefulShutdown

> Register signal handlers for graceful shutdown, useful for Kubernetes and containerized deployments.

Static method that registers process signal handlers for `SIGTERM` and `SIGINT` so the
agent shuts down cleanly. This is especially useful in Kubernetes deployments where the
pod receives `SIGTERM` before termination.

Only registers handlers once, even if called multiple times.

## **Parameters**

**`opts`** `object`

Optional configuration.

---

**`opts.timeout`** `number` — default: 5000

Shutdown timeout in milliseconds before the process exits.

---

## **Returns**

`void`

## **Example**

```typescript {3}
import { AgentBase } from '@signalwire/sdk';

AgentBase.setupGracefulShutdown({ timeout: 10000 });

const agent = new AgentBase({ name: 'support', route: '/support' });
agent.setPromptText('You are a helpful assistant.');
await agent.serve();
```
