[MacTUG] UW Emerge on the Macs

[Marlon A. Griffith]

I spoke to Erick. He said that emergestart just starts the connection process to the emergency service. He did not know of a way to have it start for everyone who logs in, on a mac. If you know of a way, then just use that.

I would suggests Apple's cron replacement, whose name escapes me at the moment.

By the way, Ian is correct wrt the"go to the web page" stuff.
