Well, man vsftpd:
VSFTPD(8) BSD System Managerâs Manual
VSFTPD(8)
NAME
vsftpd - Very Secure FTP Daemon
SYNOPSIS
vsftpd [configuration file]
DESCRIPTION
vsftpd is the Very Secure File Transfer Protocol Daemon. The server can
be launched via a âsuper-serverâ
Alternatively, vsftpd can be launched in standalone mode, in which case
vsftpd itself will listen on the network. This latter mode is
easier to use, and recommended. It is activated by setting listen=YES
in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf. Direct execution of the vsftpd binary
will then launch the FTP service ready for immediate client
connections.
OPTIONS
An optional [configuration file] may be given on the command line. This
configuration file has to be owned by root. The default configu-
ration file is /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.

Great. What does that say? Where are my flags? How do I issue a command to
start the service?
man service:
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment
as possible, removing most environment variables and with current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in
/etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script, service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init
script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start
and stop commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart,
the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with
the start command.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order,
with the status command.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

chkconfig(8), ntsysv(8)

And what exactly does that tell me? What is my command? What are my options?
Lots of stuff online? I went to several of the pages your googling revealed
before posting and there wasn't anything substantial on any of them. Can you
please be more specific?
TIA,
