Add killed reason for bkill command

Dear developers,
My IT team are supporting the LSF cluster for my company and we really need a new function for bkill command.
We want an option for bkill to add a discription/reason for why users/admin kill a job so that we can run 'bjobs -l jobid' or 'bjobs -o killed_reason' to check why this job is killed. This is very important for us since we have many triggers to kill the jobs.
Currently we use bpost to post a msg to the job and then run bkill to kill this job. But this method is painful for us because we need to run two commands to kill a job , and the length of the msg is limited, and the most important is that users may not see this msg line because 'Completed TERM_OWNER...' is shown in the middle of the out put of 'bjobs -l jobid' while the post msg shown in the bottom.
We need a patch to add this option for bkill. Thanks for your help.
