Have a look at the syslogd(8) manual page, around line 100:

 -m interval
    The syslogd logs a mark timestamp  regularly.  The default interval
    between two -- MARK -- lines is 20 minutes.  This can be changed
    with this option. Setting the interval to zero turns it off
    entirely.


Cheers,
