Description Harshula Jayasuriya 2013-05-23 13:02:27 UTC 
Description of problem:

DeleteTaskAfter uses atime to determine when a task is deleted. Administrative scripts may access tasks for various reasons, thus updating the atime. Since retrace-server-interact updates the mtime of the task, could DeleteTaskAfter rely on mtime instead of atime?
