However, my logs are constantly filled with entries as follows:

Notice the time patterns? I have no idea where these are coming from? Is
These are from syslog - notice how they are logged every 20 minutes,
when syslog has gone 20 minutes without receiving a message for
this log file.
Let's say your machine crashes overnight. At the very least you may be
able to pinpoint when the machine crashed (within a 20-minute interval)
thanks to these messages :-)

guess there is still some basics I need to cover.
Thanks a lot for the quick responses.
