/etc/init.d/kamailio is just a wrapper around kamailio. As Alex said, 
/etc/init.d/kamailio takes some parameters from different files (a 
matter of OS distro) and passes them to kamailio as command line parameters.

You can see what parameters can be passed to kamailio via command line 
with'kamailio -h' -- this will print also the path to default 
configuration file.

When you simply run kamailio, it will load the default configuration 
file, with no other command line parameters.

If you have different output, means that either the init.d script is 
using another config file (passed with -f) or it has command line 
parameters that overwrite the values from config file.

Cheers,
Daniel
