[rancid] Re: Eliminating two lines from foundry output

[Chris Gauthier]

That did the trick, though I have one other trick I need to pull out of 
my sleeve (after I learn it).

I still am getting config changes, even though nothing actually changes...

Exerpt:

- ! Fan 1 ok, speed (auto): 1<->2<->[[3]]
- ! Fan 2 ok, speed (auto): 1<->2<->[[3]]
+ ! Fan 1 ok, speed (auto): 1<->[[2]]<->3
+ ! Fan 2 ok, speed (auto): 1<->[[2]]<->3

What I want to do is preserve the "Fan X ok" or "Fan X failed", but with 
out the fan speed information.  Why?  Because the temperature hangs 
right at the threshold between the two fan speeds, so it goes up and 
down several times per day.

Is there a way to be that granular in my string processing without 
bogging everything down?
