linuxlogger - a sysklogd replacement

maybe this is lighter, or faster or better than the standard way that linux logs stuff, I dont know, wouldnt know where to look.. But maybe someone (techonosaurus) will know...

compiled in puppy 4, could probably be stripped, or made lighter in some way by a real expert.

busybox syslogd --help hasn't got any information for the -m option but seems to accept it :
"\-m " "interval"
The
syslogd
logs a mark timestamp regularly. The default
interval
between two I-- MARK -- lines is 20 minutes. This can be changed
with this option. Setting the
interval
to zero turns it off entirely.
