How to make a gray-round box using tiks

This is the next question asked here . I need to make a round tooth box as shown.

Based on the answers, I tried something, but not so fruitfully. So, there will be more questions.

I came up with the following command, but it does not work. The transcript inside the mini-disc is not compiled.

\ newcommand {\ graybox} [1] {%
\ noindent \ begin {tikzpicture}%
  \ draw node [draw = black, fill = black! 10, rounded corners, inner sep = 2ex, text width = \ mytikzwidth] {%
  #1
  };%
\ end {tikzpicture}%
}%

%% ERROR - verbatim doesn't work. 
\ graybox {%
\ begin {minipage} [b] {\ mytikzwidth}
...
\ begin {verbatim}
java -cp \ $ CLOJUREJAR: \ $ CLASSPATH clojure.lang.Script \ $ 1
\ end {verbatim}
...
\ end {minipage}
}

, . - -.

\newenvironment{grayboxx}%
{\noindent\begin{tikzpicture}%
  \draw node[draw=black,fill=black!10,rounded corners,inner
  sep=2ex,text width=\mytikzwidth] {%
}%
{};%
\end{tikzpicture}%
}

  • LaTeX? tikzpicture?

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{tikz}

\newlength{\mytikzwidth}
\setlength{\mytikzwidth}{\textwidth}
\addtolength{\mytikzwidth}{-4ex} % this 10ex is just rule of thumb.

\newcommand{\graybox}[1]{%
\noindent\begin{tikzpicture}%
  \draw node[draw=black,fill=black!10,rounded corners,inner sep=2ex,text width=\mytikzwidth] {%
  #1
  };%
\end{tikzpicture}%
}%

\newenvironment{grayboxx}%
{\noindent\begin{tikzpicture}%
  \draw node[draw=black,fill=black!10,rounded corners,inner
  sep=2ex,text width=\mytikzwidth] {%
}%
{};%
\end{tikzpicture}%
}

\begin{document}

%%%% CASE 1 - OK
\begin{minipage}[b]{\mytikzwidth}
clj command is as follows.

\begin{verbatim}
java -cp \$CLOJUREJAR:\$CLASSPATH clojure.lang.Script \$1
\end{verbatim}

hello.clj needs a namespace (ns) to let the modules know about this code.
\end{minipage}

%%%% CASE 2 - not working with verbatim
\graybox{%
\begin{minipage}[b]{\mytikzwidth}
clj command is as follows.

%\begin{verbatim}
java -cp \$CLOJUREJAR:\$CLASSPATH clojure.lang.Script \$1
%\end{verbatim}

hello.clj needs a namespace (ns) to let the modules know about this code.
\end{minipage}
}

%%%% CASE 3 - not inside the tikz
\begin{grayboxx}
\begin{minipage}[b]{\mytikzwidth}
clj command is as follows.

%\begin{verbatim}
java -cp \$CLOJUREJAR:\$CLASSPATH clojure.lang.Script \$1
%\end{verbatim}

hello.clj needs a namespace (ns) to let the modules know about this code.
\end{minipage}
\end{grayboxx}
