Hi,
Montoring the above file with tail -f and notice that every 20mins I have the entry of 'Oct 22 10:13:53 spy -- MARK --' (sans quotes)
What is the MARK and how could I find out what is causing it?
The MARK is just a message from syslog telling you it's still alive. You get it when there is no other activity, so you can tell if it's hung, crashed or something else is wrong. As long as you see the MARKs, you'll know syslog is still running
