Specific question about passing -P or -G args to SoapUI

I have a specific question about passing -G or -P args to a SoapUI testrunner.bat script.

If I add this to my command line: -PpHost=pHost:5555 or -GgHost=gHost:4444 and I want a Groovy script within my SoapUI test to access this variable, how can I do that? How can I get a .groovy script to access a Global property? I could make it work with "a hack and a temp file" but I would rather not if there is a correct way of doing this.

I setup a test and I cannot get it to work. I only get "null" when passing arguments. Here is my batch script:

@ECHO off
SET COMMAND_STRING=-GgHost=ghost:5555 -PpHost=phost:4444^
 -h^"localhost:5666^" -s^"TestSuite1^" -c^"TestCase1^" -r -a -j -I^
 -f^"junit-results^" ^"TestArgs.xml^"
ECHO cmd.exe /c %SOAPUI_HOME%\bin\testrunner.bat %COMMAND_STRING%
ECHO Running...
cmd.exe /c %SOAPUI_HOME%\bin\testrunner.bat %COMMAND_STRING%
pause


Here is my .groovy script:
def env = System.getenv()
String phost = env['pHost']
println "pHost=" + phost
String ghost = env['gHost']
println "gHost=" + ghost


And here is the result:
cmd.exe /c C:\soapUI-4.5.1\bin\testrunner.bat -GgHost=ghost:5555 -PpHost=phost:4444 -h"pdxsasqa069:6500" -s"TestSuite1" -c"TestCase1" -r -a -j -I -f"junit-
results" "TestArgs.xml"
Running...

    Ok, I figured it out from here, in section 1.1 :

    http://www.soapui.org/Scripting-Properties/tips-a-tricks.html

    The code:

    def globalProperty = com.eviware.soapui.SoapUI.globalProperties.getPropertyValue( "gHost" )
    println "gHost using eviware: " + globalProperty

    def projectProperty = testRunner.testCase.testSuite.project.getPropertyValue( "pHost" )
    println "pHost using eviware: " + projectProperty
