This is a 'timestamp" which /sbin/syslogd writes to the log at set
intervals, 20 min. by default.
You can suppress it by starting syslogd with '-m 0'.
man syslogd
from my /etc/init.d/syslog:
-----> snip
umask 077
start() {
echo -n "Starting system logger: "
# we don't want the MARK ticks
daemon syslogd -m 0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
RETVAL=$?
echo
echo -n "Starting kernel logger: "
daemon klogd
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && touch /var/lock/subsys/syslog
------>snip
Best,
Tom
