So I used SMOS just because it was convenient. I had to create a bash script to kill the miners and keep them dead. Then it's just a pure manual process. The web interface is pretty much dead except I can tell if the rigs are on.
Create the file
touch killminers
Edit the file
sudoedit killminers
Paste this text and save.
#!/bin/bash
killall xterm -9
killall screen -9
screen -wipe
ps -efw | grep CRON | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill
ps -efw | grep fanspeed | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill
ps -efw | grep watchdog | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill
ps -efw | grep update_status | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill
ps -efw | grep emergency | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill
Add execute to the file
chmod +x killminers
Execute the script
./killminers
If you have monitor on the rig then you will see some errors on the screen.
I was logged in as root for all of this so I logged as 'miner' and ran 'screen -wipe' and that cleared it up.

I used your instructions to accomplish the miner shutdown but ended with an error. Could you explain why? No directory was given so I put it in the root .. or so I believe .. don't know much about Linux.
