I came across this one Debian Linux installation (6.0.6), and examining its /etc/rsyslog.conf, I see configuration lines like this:
auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log
*.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/syslog
I can't find anything about prepending dashes to the file action in rsyslog.conf(5), and what the meaning of it might be, and would like to know what they actually do.

Googled this a bit more, and found this.
In essence, it means to not synchronize the log file to disk every time there is a write, if synchronization behavior is on by default.
It is stated that since v3 the default behavior is not sync, and it's possible to change this by specifying "$ActionFileEnableSync on/off".
