Nov 14 03:57:18 pc -- MARK --
Nov 14 04:17:18 pc -- MARK --
Nov 14 04:37:19 pc -- MARK --
Nov 14 04:57:19 pc -- MARK --
Nov 14 05:17:19 pc -- MARK --
Nov 14 05:37:19 pc -- MARK --
Nov 14 05:57:20 pc -- MARK --

logrotate runs, yes... lemme see how. Ah yeah, called from
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate which is called by the line
