<para>The <filename>sysklogd</filename> script invokes the
<command>syslogd</command> program with the <parameter>-m 0</parameter> option.
This option turns off the periodic timestamp mark that
<command>syslogd</command> writes to the log files every 20 minutes by default.
If you want to turn on this periodic timestamp mark, edit the
<filename>sysklogd</filename> script and make the changes accordingly. See
<userinput>man syslogd</userinput> for more information.</para>
