Here's a rerally lame one that I just used the other day to do just what
you want. If amlabel works with the slot command for you, make a script
like this:
#!/bin/sh
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-01 slot 2
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-02 slot 3
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-03 slot 4
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-04 slot 5
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-05 slot 6
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-06 slot 7
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-07 slot 8
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-08 slot 9
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-09 slot 10
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-10 slot 11
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-11 slot 12
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-12 slot 13
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-13 slot 14
sleep 20
amlabel -f SMGDR0 SMGDR0-14 slot 15
