There is nothing wrong with the execroot script. So it really seems like copy or lf/cr mistakes.
Only one little thing:
the script takes only one parameter (the commmand itself). But what about having the need to give some parameters to that script?

I have the approach using a template header activating root rights and then execute the shell script in lower part of the same file.
For each action one dedicated script which can be called with as much parameters as you like (and tweaked inside).

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# executing a shell script given with paramete$
# by peterleinchen, based on MFaroTusino's idea

if [ $(id -u) != 0 ]; then
  echo rootme | devel-su -c "$0 $*"
  exit $?
fi

# own shell code from here
echo $(whoami) >> /home/user/.out_execAsRoot

Make the script executable (chmod +x scriptName).
For safety freaks you may also make it non-readable (root password inside) with chmod u-r scriptName.

Just make sure to give the full qualified path name when calling.

In fact it is pretty much the same as the execroot.script and also based on MFaroTusino's. But all in one place and I like it that way ...

(just wanted to share)
