The nsrjb command needs to be executed on the machine that controls the
robotics of the jukebox, so in your case you need to run the following
command on Fatangel:

nsrjb -s Alaskan1 -j MissBliss -HE

If you need to trigger this command from the server, you can use rsh, or
nsrexec, or just do it from nwadmin (yes it's there but hidden away).

Using nsrexec (as root only):

export RUSER=root
export RCMD="nsrjb -s Alaskan1 -j MissBliss -HE"
nsrexec -c Fatangel

If you do it from the GUI, you need to look in the jukebox resource for
the "operation" attribute.
