I've seen lots of iridium flare prediction software that's
graphics-based, but is there any that can be run from the command
line?

I want to run the predictor as a cron job and pipe the output to a
Perl script, for example.

I'm running Mac OS X, but if I can get the source of anything that
runs on FreeBSD or Linux, I'm pretty sure I can get it to compile on
Mac OS X.
