Update Prebinding

Question

Update Prebinding

After updating to OS X 10.4, I ran my usual maintenance scripts & routines. I also tried updating the prebinding via the terminal, but instead of the mile long list of activity that normally ensues, all I got was about a 30 second delay and then the prompt line. Is this normal.

Also, could someone tell me the difference between the following two system log pruning commands:

a.) sudo periodic (daily, weekly, monthly)
b.) sudo /etc/(daily, weekly, monthly)

G4/1GHz/768MB Ram, Mac OS X (10.4)

The subject says "Update Prebinding", but the question refers to periodic. They are unrelated. Update Prebinding is obsolete. There is no reason for a user to run it. (The system does it itself, but other than that don't bother with it.)
