does somebody know what this line meens : syntax error near unexpected token `newline' . this is shown when i try to start the bot on my shell with the command : ./eggdrop -m <trashbot.conf> .
Edit: Using these and similar characters are generally NOT advisable, as their use generally results in issues like these. If you've named your file with them, I would strongly advise you to rename the file to not include them.

A common practise is to indicate mandatory parameters by surrounding them with <>, optional parameters with [], and anything that's supposed to be written "as-is" without any characters around them.
This syntax is used in the documentation of eggdrop's extended tcl-commands (doc/tcl-commands.doc).
Side-note: Of course, these characters can be valid in a command-line (if say, pipe-redirections are desired). Generally, the documentation would make it somewhat obvious such is the case (tho there's always examples where this is not true aswell)
