Error handling and output in some scripts could use tweaking: get_lastRun, get_curr_exp, ...

[klauer]

Expected Behavior

• If a hutch can't be determined or an experiment can't be found (for example), return a fixed value without error messages to the user
• Wrapping these scripts with Python code is common and really should never fail, and should be usable on machines more typically used for testing

Current Behavior

As we were trying to make filenames for gige cameras to save to by way of hutch + experiment name + run number, we ran into the following:
