>From the man page for syslogd:

       -m interval
              The  syslogd  logs  a mark timestamp regularly. The
              default interval between two -- MARK -- lines is 20
              minutes.   This  can  be  changed with this option.
              Setting the interval to zero turns it off entirely.

... from someone who writes man pages, man pages are your friend. :)
