Web front end for ruby/groovy

    I work in a company that uses quite a few command line based scripts that are written in groovy and ruby.

    I think they could benefit from them being moved to be web based tools. Its mostly a java and open source house so I suspect any websites would need to be coded up in some sort of java.

    Is it possible and worthwhile to just put a web front end and have it call the existing scripts or would something more substantial be needed?

    These scripts interact with various systems and source code repositories so I'm not sure of the best approach.

    I'm also more familiar with.net and c# but i think for this, java would need to be used.

    Sorry for the vagueness. :)

    sudo install jenkins

    Alternatively TeamCity, or Bamboo or any other CI suite does this.

    Next question please.

    On linux to install a package you can use that command. Except I typed it wrong, oops. The command is:
    sudo apt-get install jenkins (on ubuntu)
    sudo yum install jenkins (on centos )

    On windows you have to manually download the setup file and run it. Get it here: http://jenkins-ci.org/

    This is a continuous integration package: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration
    I recommend Jenkins because it's completely free.

    Basically it is a web frontend, that allows you to run scripts remotely or locally. These scripts can be anything, but are usually related to software build/test/deployment.
