It's probably been asked before, try to search the forums.
Anyway,
echo $@
is what you're looking for.
Regards.

cat cmdline.sh
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh

shift
echo $@

Code:
sh cmdline.sh one two three four five
two three four five

If you want to preserve the argument list, you can do :
Code:
arg1="$1"
shift
echo $@
set -- "$arg1" "$@"
