If you run the script in the root account there's no need to sudo it. If
this is to be an automated script, the obvious solution is to run the
script from the root cron table (sudo crontab -e).

None of the above requires enabling the root user or logging into the
root account with the OS X GUI. Neither of those are recommended due to
security reasons, and neither are required.
