[rancid] How do I make Rancid forget about a switch?

[Chris Gauthier]

According to the router.db man page (http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/man/router.db.5.html):

<state> 
The state is either "up", or some other arbitrary value, e.g. "down". If the device is not marked "up" the device's configuration will not be collected. It is highly recommended that comments are made for any router not listed as up, so as to indicate the reason a router is not to be polled, e.g.: 
dial1.paris:cisco:up: 
core1.paris:cisco:down:in testing until 5/5/2001. 
core2.paris:cisco:ticketed:Ticket 6054234, 5/3/2001 
border1.paris:juniper:up: 

The script "downreport" in util/ can be used to produce a report of routers in router.db that are not marked "up".

Yesterday I pulled two switches and an ASA from my network.  As expected, at a certain point I started getting notifications that Rancid was unable to pull the configs after X hours. So, I commented out the switches and asa from routers.db, but I am still getting alerts.  Yes, I know I could google it, but I've been up for 36 hours and I'm hoping someone will show some compassion and tell me the quick fix.  :)
