First, let me apologize for the initial poor bug report. I have since
done further research and a have discovered that the
/lib/udev/rules.d/39-usbmuxd.rules file in debian package
usbmuxd_1.0.8+git20140527.e72f2f7-2_i386.deb supported both sysvinit and
systemd. Please see contents below.
# usbmuxd ("Apple Mobile Device" muxer listening on /var/run/usbmuxd)
# Check for systemd running as pid 1
TEST=="/run/systemd/system/", ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb",
ATTR{idVendor}=="05ac", ATTR{idProduct}=="12[9a][0-9a-f]",
ENV{USBMUX_SUPPORTED}="1", ATTR{bConfigurationValue}="0",
OWNER="usbmux", TAG+="systemd", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}="usbmuxd.service",
RUN+="/usr/bin/pkill -x -SIGUSR2 usbmux" GOTO="usbmuxd_systemd_end"
# Legacy udev
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="05ac",
ATTR{idProduct}=="12[9a][0-9a-f]", ENV{USBMUX_SUPPORTED}="1",
ATTR{bConfigurationValue}="0", OWNER="usbmux", RUN+="/usr/sbin/usbmuxd
-u -U usbmux"
LABEL="usbmuxd_systemd_end"
# Exit usbmuxd when the last device is removed
ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="usb",
ENV{PRODUCT}=="5ac/12[9a][0-9a-f]/*", ENV{INTERFACE}=="255/*",
RUN+="/usr/sbin/usbmuxd -x"
I have tested this version of the usbmuxd.rules file in Debian based
systemd and sysvinit systems. It works perfectly
* usbmuxd starts when iphone or ipad is plugged in on both systemd and
sysvinit systems
* systemctl status usbmuxd command outputs usbmuxd status correctly on
systemd systems.
However, in the next Debian release, TEST=="/run/systemd/system/" was
removed thus breaking usbmuxd on sysvinit systems. Please revert back
to the usbmuxd_1.0.8+git20140527.e72f2f7-2_i386.deb version in order to
allow usbmuxd to load on sysvinit systems again.
Thanks
