In my /var/log/messages I frequently get lines like this:
Feb 28 10:35:26 localhost -- MARK --
What does this mean? |

| It is your logger's kind of message that it's still alive and working. If you want to get rid of it, search the forums or manual. |

Ahhh yes, I see now. In the `man syslog-ng.conf` I found an option:
mark(n)
The number of seconds between two MARK lines. NOTE: not imple-
mented yet.
However it says not implimented, meaning I have no control by setting this option... boo.
Also something very weird that I've just noticed is that all the MARK entries have a date that appear well into the future, about a day or so. What does it pull this date from if not the same time that `date` does that gets regulated by ntp services? It's only the MARK entries that do this too, all the normal log messages are with the correct time. |

As far as I can tell the MARK messages are given UTC timestamps.
