Help with separating syslog messages.

Hello Guys...

I am bit new to shell scripting and was looking for help !!

I have got syslog data on a linux server recording log messages from a device.

I need to seperate the data from log to file so that I can push it excell and get a report from that.

Log is in the format below
"
Nov 16 04:02:05 syslogger syslog: klogd startup succeeded
Nov 16 04:02:05 syslogger syslog: syslogd shutdown succeeded
Nov 16 04:02:08 syslogger crond(pam_unix)[28955]: session closed for user root

User (munsieg) Responder, Inbound SPI = 0x05347b8f, Outbound SPI = 0x9bd2c940"


Is there a way to separate things in bold from the log and push it to a text or excell file ?

Thanks a lot for the help..!!

fasthalt(8)						      System Manager's Manual						       fasthalt(8)

NAME
fasthalt - Halts the system SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/fasthalt [-lnq] DESCRIPTION
The fasthalt command halts the system and flags a subsequent reboot to skip the execution of fsck. The program creates the fastboot file, then invokes the halt program. The system start-up script contains instructions to look for the fastboot file. If present, the script removes the file and skips the invocation of the fsck command. If the command is invoked without the -l, -n, or -q flag, the halt program logs the shutdown using the syslogd command and places a record of the shutdown in the login accounting file, /var/adm/wtmp. Using the -q and the -n flags imply the -l flag. You must have root privileges to use this command. FLAGS
Does not log the halt using syslog. Prevents the sync before stopping, and does not log the halt using syslog. Causes a quick halt, does not log the halt using syslog, and makes no attempt to kill all processes. FILES
Specifies the command path Specifies the path of the syslog daemon RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: fsck(8), halt(8), syslogd(8) Functions: sync(2), syslog(3) delim off fasthalt(8)
