[d781ffb]18 <para>The <filename>sysklogd</filename> script invokes the
[0cda898]19 <command>syslogd</command> program with the <parameter>-m 0</parameter>
20 option. This option turns off the periodic timestamp mark that
21 <command>syslogd</command> writes to the log files every 20 minutes by
[f874424]22 default. If you want to turn on this periodic timestamp mark, edit
23 <filename>/etc/sysconfig/rc.site</filename> and define the variable
[0cda898]24 SYSKLOGD_PARMS to the desired value. For instance, to remove all parameters,
25 set the variable to a null value:</para>
