Hello, I have a manually launched Ray cluster (i.e. with `ray start`) and it seems that in order to shutdown the cluster, I have to run `ray stop` on every machine in the cluster. I wonder if there’s a command such that if I shutdown the head node, it will automatically shutdown all other worker nodes?

Thank you.
