Addressed egypt's comments

-changed the suspend/resume loop logic to reduce code duplication.
-fixed up some print_*'s to remove embedded \n's
-changed formatting on some error messages
-switched comment to a TODO:
-change host_processes.select (blah} to use .find instead
-adjusted code due to remvoal of the pids.dup, resulting in arr_pids
disappearing
