Yes, invoicing and other tools could be run from a cron job, though I haven't tried it myself it should be fairly easy to do using a program like wget. You'll have to have it load the cookies to login though. I found it has a function called --load-cookies to do this (http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#index-cookies_002c-loading-74)
To do a range of dates I've had to add a field to take the first date and last date in the range. You cannot enter something like >2006-03-28 or 2006-03-28...2006-03-31 because the operators will get cleaned out by the form processing. When you make an invoice it moves the customer's next billing date forward for you, so you can't print the invoice twice using the same date, their billing date moved ahead the corresponding number of months according to their billing type, monthly moves 1 month, 6 monthly moves 6 months etc. You could print the invoice again if you were using the individual billing ID to generate the invoice, but it would have different billing dates on it.
