A bit more about this...

There are two Emacs launchers available, "Emacs (GUI)" and "Emacs (Client)". If I pin "Emacs (GUI)" to my favorites and then launch it, I end up with two Emacs icons in my dock, one pinned and one unpinned which is "Emacs (Client)". Every time I click on the "Emacs (GUI)" launcher I get a new window. Clicking on "Emacs (Client)" brings all the windows to the front.

I don't want to pin "Emacs (Client)" to my favorites because if I do that and then try to kill and restart the emacsclient server inside Emacs, it kills the Emacs window. I need to be able to kill and restart the emacsclient server inside Emacs because sometimes I access my computer from the desktop and launch emacs there for editing with emacsclient and other times I access my computer remotely and launch emacs there for editing with emacsclient.
