It's not useful when 0 is returned anyway, so be sure that we have a
string with length > 0, this also solves some indexing-gotchas like
"len - 1" and so on.
Also, add checked getline()'s whenever it has been forgotten and
clean up the error-messages.
Allows dropping a local variable if the explicit PID is not needed
and it makes it clearer what happens.
Also, one should always strive for consistency for cases like these.
