|From syslogd (8):
-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.
|From /etc/init.d/sysklogd:
# Options for start/restart the daemons
# For remote UDP logging use SYSLOGD="-r"
#
SYSLOGD=""
^ change that to:
SYSLOGD="-m 60"
or, if that means "every minute" (try it):
SYSLOGD="-m 3600"
