Re: Strange /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog
D.U.;
You can change the interval of the --Mark-- by adding something like this
to your /etc/init.d/sysklogd or editing the line you may have:
SYSLOGD="-m 60
This sets it for one hour (60 minutes) I think they did the 20 minute
default to show the syslog is still alive. I think hourly is OK in most
situations but there may be valid reasons to have a short Mark interval
beyond filling the logs.
