Comment (by Giova84):

 Wait..

 I had an old bash script with the following content


 {{{
 replitxt --list > /tmp/list.txt
 checkID=$(cut -c1 /tmp/list.txt)
 ID=$(basename $checkID)
 }}}


 Since, currently, the result of "replitxt --list" is "There are 0 replitxt
 replicants out of 0 replicants." the variable $ID is just "T" (the first
 letter of the phrase).

 and then i run


 {{{
 replitxt --text $ID "Message received"
 }}}


 I am able to send "Message received" to the replicant.

 I discovered that as replicant ID I can use any letter (A,B,C...T,Z,Y) and
 also any senseless word (eg: sdfjkl ): in all these cases the replicant of
 replitxt will receive the message. Very odd.
