creating a systemd script for twonky [solved]

Greetings,

I found this on google however it doesn't seem to work: http://www.giulix.net/twonky_server

Basically i am trying to create a systemd script for twonky.  Here is my service file:

[Unit]
Description=Twonky service
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/local/twonky/twonky.sh start
ExecStop=/usr/local/twonky/twonky.sh stop
PIDFile=/var/run/mediaserver.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

However, it is not working.  I put systemd in debug and here is the log for when i am trying to start twonky:

Oct 22 20:58:56 turian systemd[1]: Accepted connection on private bus.

Oct 22 20:58:58 turian systemd[1]: Failed to start Twonky service.
Oct 22 20:58:58 turian systemd[1]: Unit twonky.service entered failed state.

Here is a ps output of what is running when i start it using the init script that twonky came with (twonky.sh)

root       717     1  0 21:11 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/twonky/twonkystarter
root       718   717  8 21:11 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/twonky/twonkyserver

[edit]
I found the answer -- by looking at the init script i was able to change the ExecStart and now it works.

Here is the working script:

[Unit]
Description=Twonky service
After=syslog.target network.target

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/local/twonky/twonkystarter
ExecStop=/usr/local/twonky/twonky.sh stop
PIDFile=/var/run/mediaserver.pid

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
