    Why is this necessary? Looking at the current script, no option is passed 
to the history server at all. Anybody who worked around the script needed to 
use the `-d` argument. So this is basically removing the check for invalid 
command lines, which can lead to confusing behavior (e.g. `java HistoryServer 
blah -d directory` will set the directory to `blah` with your code, instead of 
telling the user his command line arguments make no sense).
