Description
To better support the use of art's --validate-config option, module and service constructors should limit their actions to the essence.
In this case, CorsikaGen appears to be copying flux files. This may probably be moved into beginJob() stage with no further consequence, so that it will not happen when --validate-config is used.

LArSoft should have guidance about what belongs in a constructor.
Since the constructor calls ifdh and fetches named file(s), it may make sense to move it to beginJob, but this is not a general recommendation.
