apropospredateman -k? they seem to do the same thingside note:
man bash's output in insane. I think my final test is going to be reading it in its entirety and everything listed in it makes sense. -

-
apropos actually connects to whatis
-
@scottalanmiller thanks
-
You can see apropos pointing elsewhere just be listing the file...
$ ll /usr/bin/apropos lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 6 Dec 13 15:10 /usr/bin/apropos -> whatis* -
Keeping my fingers crossed that all the work I did in putting drainage tile around my house will work and take the water away from my basement. Basement flooded in the the Christmas Floods of 2015...so far so good.....

Still in the office. It's late here and a holiday but I'm not alone so I guess that I'm okay.

Long day of talking in circles to folks will do that to you!
At least you're not alone. @KOOLER or @Stuka around to keep you company?

@stuka left long ago. @kooler did too, actually, but he literally just walked back in a few minutes ago.

He says that he doesn't want to be big brother, but it sounds exactly like he wants to be big brother.

@scottalanmiller How would he even have access to his competitor's emails? Is he hosting them?

I'm pretty sure that he just means as they enter or leave his network. One hopes, anyway.
-
@momurda They didn't give a whole lot of information about the environment that they are working with. If in Exchange/O365, this can be done in filtering TO:/From: fields as mail is coming and going.

I agree, oddly non-specific about the tech. Really focused on the snooping.
-
And like.. one guy maybe did this, but no reason to really think so or that he was so stupid as to use company email and if he did, why didn't they prove it already, but it's an excuse to go all big brother on the innocent people who stayed behind? Sounds like an empty excuse for a level of snooping that they want to do anyway.

This is a very typical response when something happens that someone in a position of authority doesn't like how something happened. It can and does happen at all sizes of business.
So in this case, the powers that be freaked out and say - OMG we must stop this, without considering that it's probably a very small real problem, and so easily thrawtable.

Even moreso, someone who probably isn't in a position of authority but wants to feel like they are. Did you notice the tone and wording, I could be wrong easily, but it really did not sound like anyone with authority said to do this, but that he saw an excuse to seize power on the email system and is trying to leverage it. I didn't see any "legal told me I have to" or "HR thought this would be a good idea". It was specifically that "he" wanted to prevent this happening.

I have Never seen an SMB say that legal ever told them to do something.. oh yeah.. because they don't have a 'legal' department.

Most any functional SMB has a lawyer, just not a full time one.
