I thought the first referral to see would be "man syslogd":
-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.
This time I did a test again and it worked even without the need to add
mark.* in /etc/syslog.conf. I presume that maybe when I tried it last
week, it would have failed because I incorrectly used "-m 20" in
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS in /etc/init.d/syslog rather than in /etc/syslog.conf.
I also see that timestamps are placed with the default interval of 20
minutes leaving the variable empty, ie:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS=""
Thanks for your reply.
Regards,
Daniel
