Introduction Emerge is one of several technologies the University of Waterloo will use to distribute messages in the event of an emergency. The emerge client program runs on client computers and keeps in contact with central servers.&nbsp; In the event of an emergency, an authorized person submits a message to be displayed on clients screens. In seconds, emerge servers distribute that message to emerge clients and the client systems automatically pop up a web browser to display the message. A client version is available for Macs.&nbsp; &nbsp;




So notice the Automator script is gone which is probably fine since it would just clean up from the really old version.

Next suggestion would be to not have a script in the Applications folder ... either put it under a very descriptive folder

such as "University of Waterloo Emerge client" or better still /usr/local/bin


And it would be a good  to not get

“emerge-2017Jan.pkg” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.
