Usage: r [OPTION...] [--] [command]
Run 'command' as root via the 'root' program if available else sudo. If command
is not given then start up a root shell.

You might want to customise the XTERM setting in this script if you want
something different from "myterm --"

Note that you need to take care of the /etc/sudoers file by adding the
NOPASSWD:: flag to your line. Ideally be a member of wheel group and:

%wheel  ALL=(ALL)       NOPASSWD: ALL

Options:

  -v, --verbose              be verbose
  -X, --use-x                prefer X instead of console
  -h, --help                 print this help message
  -V, --version              print version and exit
