The variables to use are any variables for /etc/init.d/ntop

See the /etc/init.d/ntop script. There you can see what $GETOPT and other
variables are used for. Also you can read in /var/lib/ntop/init.cfg what
to set.

for your installation. The questions are "medium" if eth0 is up and
"high" if not.
