Rally version (get with esrally --version): 1.4.1

Invoked command: pipenv run esrally race --kill-running-processes --distribution-version=7.10.1 --target-hosts=XXX.XXX.XXX --track-params=params.json --pipeline=benchmark-only --track=$TRACK --report-file=~/esrally/$TRACK-result-$(date +%F%X)

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:
I was expected to be able to kill all my processes without using htop, unfortunatelly I get the following answer: "esrally: error: unrecognized arguments: --kill-running-processes"

Thanks for your report! This flag has been introduced with Rally 2.0.0 in #954 and is therefore not available in the version 1.4.1 that you're using so I suggest you upgrade to the latest version of Rally if you want to use this.

You saw that flag probably in the documentation for the current stable version. You can use the versioned link for your version instead: https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/1.4.1/
