Yes. I still do not know for sure the answer to this question.
Because I have never seen any system like that, so I have no idea, how
exactly do they work and I do not want to reinvent the wheel. Can
anyone share some information or screenshots, what do those existing
solutions have? What are they capable of?

I guess that in my case requirements could be limited down to this
list (actually second point alone would do):
1) load a separate g-code file for each separate LinuxCNC station and
separately execute them - this would actually be a remote control with
several machine being controlled from one GUI;
2) upon pressing some button/changing a tab or whatever, make all the
stations execute one g-code file - this would require modified
interpreter and non-standard g-code to exceed current number of axis
words and some additional commands in the middle of the code that
would put each station on pause and then resume, when all stations
have reached this "pause" command. I guess that non-standard code is
not biggest issue, because those machines either run one code for a
long time (so it is worth spending some time to prepare code) or they
receive the commands "almost on the fly" from another application;

Yes, that is why I am now looking for a programmer.

Sorry, this is first time I hear about it :))

BTW today I was pointed to this page:
http://www.proview.se/v2/

That seems one very attractive application. And it runs on Linux. And
it is opensource.
