It's system specific.

Have a look at other startup scripts which are placed in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d, they are started with "start" as argument.
[~] edwin@k7>less /usr/local/etc/rc.d/snmpd.sh
#!/bin/sh
if ! PREFIX=$(expr $0 : "\(/.*\)/etc/rc\.d/$(basename $0)\$"); then
echo "$0: Cannot determine the PREFIX" >&2
exit 1
fi
case "$1" in
start)
[ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/snmpd ] && ${PREFIX}/sbin/snmpd && echo -n ' snmpd'
;;
stop)
killall snmpd && echo -n ' snmpd'
;;
*)
echo "Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop}" >&2
;;
esac
exit 0
Your openftpd.sh should do something similair.
