Hi @trekco,

Right now this is most likely the best solution: [How to programmatically abort instead of fail a build?](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/how-to-programmatically-abort-instead-of-fail-a-build/1791/2?u=viktorbenei)

Alternatively you can now abort the build using the Bitrise API (Beta): [http://devcenter.bitrise.io/api/v0.1/#post-appsapp-slugbuildsbuild-slugabort](http://devcenter.bitrise.io/api/v0.1/#post-appsapp-slugbuildsbuild-slugabort) (related discussion topic: [Bitrise.io API v0.1 (Work In Progress)](http://discuss.bitrise.io/t/bitrise-io-api-v0-1-work-in-progress/1554))
