Simulation command fails if BKG not defined

[faustus123]

I commented out the BKG= line in my mcwrapper config file since I put all of the settings for background in a CUSTOM_GCONTROL file. When I ran mcwrapper interactively, it crashed with a message:

file:/work/halld/CPP/MC/generated/gen_2pi_primakoff/2022.01.16.davidl/gen_2pi_primakoff_071728_000.hddm: Command not found.

The above is defined in my config file for GENERATOR. When I defined BKG in config it ran just fine. It looks like if BKG is not defined mcwrapper gets confused about what is the executable and what is the argument.

Hi Dave, If I want to run with no background I use BKG=None. Others can comment whether this is necessary but it works for me.
