Write a new script (a text file, for example called "myscript.sh") and place it in /home/user/. Put whatever you want to execute into that script. Then do this:

Code:
chown root /home/user/myscript.sh
chmod 4755 /home/user/myscript.sh
Now put "/home/user/myscript.sh" into the command line execution. It will be executed as root.
