perhaps you should let the script do something like SUDO,
and permit it to run a single command, or limited commandset
of root operations, even without password, (you dont want that actually
but since sudo can log stuff, it might be what you aim for)

Actually, My program has a list of stuff to be done which needs to be
done as say user "x". Then I need to switch user to root as the rest of
the program needs to do stuff as user root.
so, me doing
system("sudo su root");
doesn't help as it asks for the password.
