Ah, you were planning to only update the log message? Then let's not bother. I do not think we would want to encourage "grep piped to cut" as a good pattern for others to follow and a single sed that finds the relevant lines and munges the content of these lines into what is desired conveys the intent clearly and more concisely (I was hoping that that was what you had in mind for a reroll).
