 In most generators these conditions are either available out of the box or they can be satisfied by creating a simple steering script. The only real stopper to run with this method is not having HepMC in the stdout, however the user must be careful what the other flags do in the provided generator because they could be interpreted in a different way and return unexpected results.  
 In order not to provide an impact parameter limit `GeneratorFileOrCmd.bMaxSwitch=none` can be set in the configuration keys, which is useful because your generator might not be able to configure this option by default. An example command to run with automatically generated FIFOs is:
 ```bash
-o2-sim -n 100 -g hepmc --seed 12345 --configKeyValues "GeneratorFileOrCmd.cmd=epos.sh;GeneratorFileOrCmd.bMaxSwitch=none;"
+o2-sim -n 100 -g hepmc --seed 12345 --configKeyValues "GeneratorFileOrCmd.cmd=epos.sh -i <optnsFileName>;GeneratorFileOrCmd.bMaxSwitch=none;"
 ```

The `-i` flag in the `cmd` parameter is mandatory in order to fetch the .optns file needed for the configuration of the generator.
