# Desc: The script was created during a bad time. It is a terrible hack
# to SOLVE the http://www.pulsesecure.net/ developers INCOMPETENCE!!!!
# Due to a TERRIBLE version for Linux. 
#
# Attention: DO NOT INSTALL THE SHARED *.deb PACKAGE. The debian scipts used for
# unistall have a bug that DELETE YOUR ENTIRE /usr/local/
