Screenshot Directory Management

This is a simple implementation which stores each screenshot to the filesystem in:

/public/images/screenshots/

It is recommended to setup a cron job to run clearScreenshotsDirectory which will wipe out all *.png files from the screenshots directory

The following will run clearScreenshotsDirectory at 11:00pm every day of every month, each weekday
```
  crontab -e
  00 23 * * * /Path/To/aislyn/bin/clearScreenshotsDirectory
```
