HI! I recently learned that newer clients automatically abort tasks that have not been started and are already past the deadline. I like this better than the previous "... consider aborting it" message. However this is something the user has no control about. So the text "aborted by user" at various places (at least in the web code) is outdated and somewhat misleading.
Additionally I, as a project manager, would really like to know whether a task was aborted by the client because it passed the deadline (which might suggest an extension of the deadlines), or whether it was aborted manually for other reasons. Is there a way to distinguish these two cases? If not, could there be made one e.g. by using a different exit status? The way the web code should be updated / fixed would clearly depends on whether these cases can be distinguished.
