[rancid] best way to remove part of a command's output

[Burton Windle]

I've got a few Dell 6248 switches which, as part of the 'show system'
command, display both their uptime and the temperature of the units.
Both of these are problems, as they cause frequent hourly diffs to
be emailed out.

I've removed the uptime, as that was all on one line with a unique prefix,
but I'm unsure what the best way to remove the temperature. I'd really
like to include the output of 'show system', as it has some data (fan
status, mostly) I'd like to keep. I guess I could just remove any line
with 'OK' in it, but I'd like to know more experienced rancid'ers
would solve this.

Raw output is:

does "unit" refer to the temp sensor or something else? or, is "status"
interesting?
