Shell Script in Groovy

It is possible to write a shell script using groovy. To do that, just write the script in a text editor, but remember to add the shebang line. For example, the following script will print "Hello World", groovy style:

#!/usr/bin/env groovy
println "Hello World"

The script can be named anything. It doesn't have to end with .groovy. Caveat: the script will not work if groovy is not in the PATH.
