Yes, you can use the init.d script to start, stop or check the status of ntopng 
as follow:

root@nbox-ubuntu:~# ntopng -e
06/Aug/2014 07:30:48 [Prefs.cpp:545] Logging into /var/tmp/ntopng/ntopng.log
06/Aug/2014 07:30:48 [Ntop.cpp:565] Setting local networks to 
192.168.1.0/24,0.0.0.0/32,224.0.0.0/8,239.0.0.0/8,255.255.255.255/32,127.0.0.0/8
06/Aug/2014 07:30:48 [Redis.cpp:74] Successfully connected to Redis 
127.0.0.1:6379
06/Aug/2014 07:30:48 [Ntop.cpp:539] Parent process is exiting (this is normal)
root@nbox-ubuntu:~# service ntopng status
ntopng running as 32342
root@nbox-ubuntu:~# service ntopng stop
Stopping ntopng

Please note that this scrip is base on the configuration file 
/etc/ntopng/ntopng.conf.

In order to clean all historical/accumulated data, you have to remove the data 
directory and cleanup the redis as follow:

Filippos-MacBook-Pro:~ fontanellif$ redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> FLUSHALL
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> FLUSHDB
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> exit
Filippos-MacBook-Pro:~ fontanellif$ rm -rf /var/tmp/ntopng/

Where /var/tmp/ntopng/ ad the default data directory.

Yes, it is. You have to create a ntopng.conf file

BTW if you are using ntopng on Ubuntu or Centos, you can install the nbox gui 
(http://www.nmon.net/packages/) in order to easily configure, start and stop 
ntopng and the other ntop application.
