Sorry Torsten, that last reply was to the wrong question :(

I would think that you have three options:

1. Modify the "red strings" clause to a regular expression that
   will match the "NOTICE" lines but not the "system bus" ones.
   This can get very ugly depending on how specific you need to be.

2. Modify bb-msgs.sh so that "yellow" matches suppress "red" ones
   where a line matches both.

3. Modify bb-msgs.sh to provide an extra field to provide separate
   definitions for "ignore on yellow" and "ignore on red" definitions.
   Then you could add the "system bus" string to the "ignore on red"
   part.

I would tend to favour the last option. I might be a little more
verbose to configure, but it would retain more flexibility.

Cheers, Phil.

existence of a "hottest part" implies a temperature difference and
any marginally competent physicist would immediately use this to
run a heat engine and make some other part of hell comfortably
cool. This is obviously impossible. (Richard Davisson)
