Sometimes I see some “– MARK –” message on my Plasma Desktop file watcher. This message is useless for me (at this time). Running custom command of syslogd is the solution. With the “-m 0″ parameter. It’s done by editing /etc/rc.d/rc.syslog root@pcxthinkslack:~# diff /tmp/rc.syslog /etc/rc.d/rc.syslog 9,10c9,10 < echo -n "/usr/sbin/syslogd " < /usr/sbin/syslogd --- > echo -n "/usr/sbin/syslogd -m 0" > /usr/sbin/syslogd -m 0 Ref: /usr/share/doc/Linux-HOWTOs/Battery-Powered =-=-=-=-= Powered by Blogilo

Slackware Linux est un système d’exploitation conçu par deux objectifs: la facilité d’utilisation et la stabilité comme priorités absolues y compris le tout dernier logiciel populaire, offrant la simplicité et la facilité d’utilisation aux côtés de la flexibilité et de la puissance. Depuis sa première “version beta” en avril 1993 le projet Slackware Linux à produire vise le plus “UNIX-like” distribution de Linux.

Slackware is the oldest surviving Linux distribution, founded by Patrick Volkerding in July of 1993. From the onset, the operating system has maintaineslackwared a minimalist approach to computing. It is renowned for its speed and stability, due in part to the fundamental principle of keeping packages as vanilla as possible. Aside from essential patching, each package in Slackware is exactly as the developers intended. After all this time it is still a one man show, although Patrick has a team of loyal volunteers around him.
