Ok I was sort of expecting after using the automated install distribution of Twonky for the Linkstation Pro that it would set it up to auto start , however it didn't
So taking account how things have moved on, can anybody enlighten me as to how to set this up so that if a restart my LS Pro the Twony server will start

HI,
From the LinkstationWiki site, this worked fine for me :
If you modified install.nas as above you'll have the script twonky in /etc/init.d afterwards. To start twonky during boot you have to include a call to this script in /etc/init.d/rcS. Using vi to do so is strongly recommended! The line that has to be included is exec_sh twonky. I suggest to use vi to do this. Only if you're absolutely desperate with the use of vi you should do a
echo "exec_sh twonky" >> /etc/init.d/rcS
But be sure to use this exact line, especially with the two ">>" are important otherwise you could delete the startup script /etc/init.d/rcS and that'd really mess your box up!
Cheers,
Alistair

for other people new to vi I found this page
Vi Info That helped no end and simply edited at the end of the rcS file (watch that case

) and added
exec_sh twonky
