i want to shut down my sdk so as i can deploy my built chmod files and check for the made changes.I have found it necesssary to make sure that the sdk is shut down so as to avoid re-running another instance on another port!! i have tried to look around for a commad that can help shut down the sdk on windows operating system but failed to find one.will be glad for any support!! ---

I have never seen that feature while dealing with the sdk. But I always use the task manager and explicitly terminate the folk java process. ---
