Creating Unix scripts with Groovy

I ran across a need to write some scripts that could run on my Mac or any Linux box. I don't regularly keep up with Groovy changes but last night I ran across this article and thought it was very cool. I know very little about writing Unix shell scripts but I have been playing in Groovy and Java for a long time. So the fact that I can create a Unix like script but in Groovy makes me very happy.

#!/usr/bin/env groovy
println("Hello world")
for (a in this.args) {
  println("Argument: " + a)
}

Name your file something like "project" and execute a chmod +x project. You are now good to go and can execute the Groovy code by typing ./project. Any parameters that are passed to this file will be passed to the Groovy script using the implicit args parameter.
