Execute the command using the -e option when you want to start it in a
terminal emulation.

sudo xfce4-terminal -e ./testit.sh

or better

sudo roxterm -e ./testit.sh

If the terminal emulation is unneeded, you also could use

gksudo ./something.sh
pkexec ./something.sh

It only looks like a tape-recorder. It's actually a pen.
So you can write with it and no one will know.
