Description
Presently, the Administrator's Guide has no details about customising the bookmarks directory. The server fails to start if the directory can't be written to.
[2016-09-15 12:54:57.095] [ERROR] shiny-server - Bookmark state directory creation failed: /var/lib/shiny-server/bookmarks
Then, an error message is shown in green font, which should only be used for success messages.
[2016-09-15 12:54:57.096] [INFO] shiny-server - Error getting worker: Error: The application exited during initialization.
