Interesting topic.

I admit that like that feature because i am used to "debian.d" includes.

You can easy manage the ini file via the *crudini* tool

The problem are that echocfg generate indents for the options/values
pairs, and raise error for this tool to parse the file.

See: https://github.com/pixelb/crudini/issues/30

[node:4:90/1@fidonet]
Name = Momia BBS
Comment = Manuel Adorni
Archive = ZIP
PacketType = 2+


If you can add option that echocfg to generate the file without these
tab, just work

[node:4:90/1@fidonet]
Name = Momia BBS
Comment = Manuel Adorni
Archive = ZIP
PacketType = 2+


# crudini --get sbbsecho.ini "node:4:90/1@fidonet" name
Momia BBS


you can add a node:
crudini --set sbbsecho.ini "node:4:9/9@fidonet" name "FErnando Toledo"
crudini --set sbbsecho.ini "node:4:9/9@fidonet" Archive ZIP
etc...

change the Areafix password:

crudini --set sbbsecho.ini "node:4:9/9@fidonet" AreaFixPwd PEPITO

it's will avoid the use of awk/sed parsings

Saludos!
