I've been working with Pentaho for a while - it has most of the stuff
that you want for reporting, but for more advanced stuff, it gets fairly
complicated.  There's no real CLI, but it has a scheduler built-in for
report generation, no need to use cron.

Subject: Open Source and UNIX based alternative to "Crystal Reports"
from SAP

Hi folks

I am searching for an Open Source alternative to Crystal Reports and
found those:

- JasperReports (http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperreports)
- OpenRPT (http://www.xtuple.com/openrpt)
- Pentaho Reporting (http://reporting.pentaho.org/)
- DataVision (http://datavision.sourceforge.net/)

Which project do you recommend me? What are you using?

my criteria

- should run on Solaris
- should have CLI interface for automation (daily reports generated
via cron job)
- should be simple to use/learn
- beautiful visualisations

cheers Sven
