This command is installed when you create a project with the latest 
grokproject command. In projects created with the earlier grokproject 
versions, most probably ./bin/zopectl run [pah/to/script.py] is available.

These command setup your complete application and make the database root 
object avaialable under the global name "root" in your script.
