[Feature] : Add another service which will monitor PS4 is turned off or not, and enable Jailbreaking, even if PI is running

[Curiosity007]

My PS4 slim had very low power from its usb ports, so I had to keep the pi running from another power source. What I noticed, if PI has ppwned console once, it will not again try to jailbreak it, unless the PI service is restarted. So, created a small utility which will do this, and thereby separating out PS4 shutdown and PI shutdown.

1. Create a Shell Script:
   Write a script that tails the journalctl logs and checks for the specified line. If the line is found, the script will restart the service.

   #!/bin/bash
   
   journalctl -fu pipwn | while read line
   do
     echo $line | grep "/usr/sbin/pppoe -n -I eth0 -e" &> /dev/null
     if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
       echo "Restarting pipwn service..."
       systemctl restart pipwn
     fi
   done

   • Save this script in a file, for example, /usr/local/bin/check_and_restart.sh.
   • Make sure the script is executable: chmod +x /usr/local/bin/check_and_restart.sh.

2. Create a systemd Service:
   Create a systemd service that runs this script.

   Create a systemd service file at /etc/systemd/system/pipwn_monitor.service:

   [Unit]
   Description=Monitor journalctl for pipwn and restart if needed
   
   [Service]
   ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/check_and_restart.sh
   Restart=always
   User=root
   
   [Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target

   Enable and start the service:

   systemctl enable pipwn_monitor.service
   systemctl start pipwn_monitor.service

3. Monitoring and logs:
   You can monitor the logs of your script using:

   journalctl -fu pipwn_monitor.service

You can bypass the Pi's input power, I put a USB C breakout port to my Pi3B+ direct to 5v in bypassing voltage/current protection, this allows the Pi to use full power the PS4 USBs can deliver.
PS4 USB's are maxed out between 900-950mah.
