Well -- if you're not doing anything graphical, you could use the new
ncurses display mode. Set your scripts up to allocate a new PTY each
time, connect those PTYs to screen, and you're golden. If your needs are
simpler, something similar could be done using serial console support.
While libvirt doesn't currently know anything about serial console
configuration or ncurses display / PTY support, it's just waiting on
someone with time to implement it -- might eventually be me, if nobody
else gets there first.
