/usr/bin/mobilehotspotd is a binary service (written in c/c++ probably), introduced in 1.3.5 but undocumented.

Service calls:

Watch out because the program is likely to segfault when passed bad JSON arrays. Luna will return "not running" though a sysinfo will return valid information after a moment (upstart restarts it)

Methods: sysInfo clientList setDebugLevel interfaceAdd interfaceRemove

sysInfo

luna-send -n 1 palm://com.palm.mobilehotspot/sysInfo {}

** Message: serviceResponse Handling: 2, { "returnValue": true, "sysInfo": { "ifbridge": "bridge12", "IPv4Address": "10.1.1.11", "IPv4Subnet": "255.255.255.0", "IPv4PoolStart": "10.1.1.200", "stateBridge": "CREATED", "stateIPv4": "REMOVED", "stateDHCPServer": "DHCP SERVER STOPPED", "stateBluetoothRadio": "OFF", "interfaces": [ ] } }

setDebugLevel

luna-send -n 1 palm://com.palm.mobilehotspot/setDebugLevel '{ "debugLevel": "chatty" }'

Options for debugLevel seem to be:

chatty verbose trace info notice warning assert require error critical alert emergency tragic

interfaceAdd, interfaceRemove

No idea! We're probably missing very important parameters here.

		+	The mobilehotspotd binary is the source of the 10.1.1.11 IP address and subnet range used when connecting to the NAP Bluetooth Profile. This can be changed via HEX edit at address 0000a4e0 of the binary.
		+
		+	Below is the Hex code for the relevant area, this sets the IP address and range. Hex in bold is the 3rd octet of the IP address, in this example 10.1.'''1'''.11 and the 2nd address shown is 10.1.'''1'''.200

		+	While it's not recommended adding digits to the binary, it should be moderately safe to change the highlighted digits to anywhere between 0 and 9.

		+	The results of changing the highlighted digits to a hex value of 39 (decimal of 9) is as follows, and any connecting clients end up with a 10.1.9.200 address.
