In an attempt update the Elist I tried using the command line.the
./bbbs btxt2bbs Netmail /home/bbbs/elist-upd/<Filename> /F Jeff Smith /T Echolist /S !*1:1/21 MOD UPD
The problem seems to be the "!*" which is supposed to tell BBBS to send
message as Crash/Direct. The "!*" works fine if the netmail is written manually but not when used in a command line.

It's linux. So a * inside an option is expanded to matching filenames by the shell. So write it inside single quotes like: '!*1:1/21' and you ar probably ok...
