You can create a script eg. execasroot.sh
in that file you will have
#!/bin/sh

echo rootpassword | devel-su -c command
Now in profileMatic run the custom action linking to this created script I use this method flawlessly.

Of course, if you replace command for "sh /path/of/file.sh" you can create a script that will run various commands all under root.
