I don't have a script to show as an example, but I gave up using the
networker admin gui to administer the jukebox a long time ago.  The
nsrjb command line tool is really powerful and does everything you'd
need to do -- with the benefit of using concurrent drives and being able
work on non-concurrent slots on the same command.  For example,

nsrjb -I -S 4 -S 11-20 -S 55-60

would use all of your available drives (except for one, in case it was
needed for restores, and that's configurable,) and inventory all of
those slots.  On our old library, without a functioning barcode reader,
that single command saved me a TON of time over using the nwadmin gui.
