-- MARK -- in /var/log/messages [SOLVED]

I keep having the message --MARK-- appear in my /var/log/messages every 20 minutes exactly,
this began about a week ago,  according to this website http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.c … hp/3517611 there are no problems per say.
there doesn't appear to be anything wrong, but it's bugging me and I would like it gone.   does anyone have any idea which log file
I need to change to make this happen?  any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: -- MARK -- in /var/log/messages [SOLVED]

It's in /etc/syslog-ng.conf.  Here's how to disable it:

options {
  stats_freq (0);
  mark_freq (0);
... and so on ...

The 2 lines disable the stats dump and --mark-- entries, respectively.
