<para>The <filename>sysklogd</filename> script invokes the
<command>syslogd</command> program as a part of System V initialization. The
<parameter>-m 0</parameter> 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
<filename>/etc/sysconfig/rc.site</filename> and define the variable
SYSKLOGD_PARMS to the desired value. For instance, to remove all parameters,
set the variable to a null value:</para>
<screen role="nodump">SYSKLOGD_PARMS=</screen>
<para>See <userinput>man syslogd</userinput> for more options.</para>
