Hi. Thanks for the fix!

Maybe it's better to add additional check for an empty argument to
'pid_exists' function instead? This will cover more cases like invocations
from the utilities/ovs-lib.in.

I think, you may also add following tag to commit-message in this case:
Fixes: 3028ce2595c8 ("ovs-lib: Allow "status" command to work as non-root.")

This patch also will be needed in ovn-org/ovn repository too.
(Use 'PATCH ovn' subject prefix while sending patches targeted for ovn repo.)

Best regards, Ilya Maximets.
