Resolution
The following command can be used to download the proinventory tool from the command line on a Linux machine:

wget http://download.progress.com/open/proinventory/proinv20/proinv20_linuxx86.tar

When using Red Hat/ Centos running the following command executed as root:
yum -y install ncompress

before running un-compressing the tarball and running proinventory:
tar -xvf proinv20_linuxx86.tar
./proinventory


This will allow the creation of the file proinventory.tar.Z  containing the resulting reports, otherwise a file called sit0000.tar will be created instead.

The command 'proinventory' is already included in OpenEdge installations of version 11.2 and higher and therefore not necessary to first download in order to run.
