When I view /var/log/messages I see an entry every half-hour when I'm

I'm curious where this originates and what it means. It's obviously benign
and seems harmless and I'm curious what generates this entry and why. My web
search foo was not up to the task of finding an explanation.
Rich,
In /etc/rsyslog.conf, you'll see an entry something like this:
$ModLoad immark
Just comment it out if your want the MARK entries to go away. It's
otherwise just a way to verify that your syslog log system is working
even when there isn't anything to log.
