Description

You get the following message on /var/log/messages every 20 minutes:
"Oct 18 15:35:21 server -- MARK --"

Solution

This is by design, you can disable the "MARK" messages by adding -m 0 to syslogd.

For Debian, you can add the following line to /etc/default/syslogd:
SYSLOGD="-m 0"

For RedHat, you can add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/syslog:
SYSLOGD_OPTIONS="-m 0"

Affected software:

Linux 2.4.x
Linux 2.6.x
