-- MARK --

Hi,

I enabled the "mark" feature of syslogd a while ago, just out of interest.
It appears I configured it to MARK my /var/log/messages log file every 30
minutes.

Is it bad if there are missing MARKs?

:/

There's an extract of a 'cat /var/log/messages | grep MARK'.

Does anyone know of any non-suspicious reason that the log file would be
missing MARKs?  I thought the whole idea of MARKs was for this exact
reason..  now I have to be suspicious :/


Cheers,

Nick
