Start the miners each in their own GNU Screen sessions [..] will allow users to view the miners though SSH.

I use tmux for my miner(s), as:
- it can be split horizontally/vertically, so I can have a number of miners in one "window"
- its launch can be scripted, so you can have one .sh script launch a number of miners each with their own details *and* detach the whole
- it can be scripted and the buffer saved somewhere, to be later handled via other GNU tools

For example: on screen 0, window 1, pane 0 I have a miner; on pane 1 another.

Code:
echo "Miners' info:"
for pane in 0 1; do
  tmux capture-pane -t 0:1.$pane # captures the contents of the pane for the 1st miner
  tmux save-buffer /tmp/buff-01$pane # saves it to a file
  echo "Miner $pane: $(tail -n 1 /tmp/buff-01$pane)" # gets the latest line, usually the one with MHash/sec
done


I also modify the miners to report found/rejected blocks on STDERR, then munge it with some Perl and display the graph on a site, but having only one graphics card I'm not sure how useful the thing is to you guys Wink
