I think you mixed up the snmptrapd program with the start script.

-Lo is an option for the program snmptrapd. The program is usually 
located in a path for system binaries. Mine is in /usr/sbin. Try

sudo which snmptrapd

to find yours. I guess this pogram is what you want to start here.

In /etc/init.d you can find scripts to start and stop programs like the 
above automatically in the background and with preconfigured options. 
You usually can't pass program arguments directly to these scripts but 
they are read from a config file. On my system /etc/sysconfig/net-snmp 
configures how the program is called.
