Any way to run a report from a command line?

I have Crystal Enterprise (CE) running on an NT. IT accesses my data via ODBC on a Unix server. I have a unix program that runs nightly that updates my data. I'm trying to see if there is a way that my Unix script can call CE to execute a report. The reason for this is the data must be reported at a specific time in the script before the data is updated. Any ideas or suggestions?

Write a CSP page to schedule your report. Script Lynx (or anything else capable of HTTP requests) to ask for that page after your data has been updated.
 
DDD123,

Very interesting. Couple questions. CSP are you refering to a Crystal Server Page? Then you are stating to call that page from unix which should execute the csp page?
