OS X: reveal file in console

One of the neat things you can do in OS X is to reveal a file in Finder.app from some other applications. Turns out lots of the time, we also want to do that in the terminal. The following script helps you with that:

#!/usr/bin/osascript
on run args
	set fullpath to do shell script "realpath " & (quoted form of first item of args)
	set theFile to POSIX file fullpath
	tell application "Finder"
		reveal theFile
		activate
	end tell
end

Note:

1. You should put this into a directory in your search path. I recommend in ~/bin. Also remember to chmod +x.
2. The above requires another script realpath, which returns the fullpath of a file. You can find it here.
