This command does not need to be run as root. Mobile will do fine. Also, this command should not differ much on your device from that of my test-device. If it does, please let me know and I will update this page accordingly.
Before iOS 6.1.3, this command used the arguements located in /etc/launchd.conf and executed them on startup. This is how evasi0n achieved an untethered jailbreak. Please see launchd.conf untether for more information.
