gnuplot error message

[yasmin kattab]

Hi i am new to gnuplot and i am writing a gnuplot script and i got this error
message line 14: `/dev/shm/waitingTime.txt': not a valid identifier !
i tried export but it did not work, and i am sure i have this file in this directory with this name!!!

here is my simple script updated :

#!/bin/bash

set xlabel "start"
set ylabel "Delay"
set autoscale
set style line 1 lt 1 lw 3 pt 3 linecolor rgb "red"
plot<"/dev/shm/waitingTime.sh"> using 1:2 w lines title "tests"
set terminal postscript portrait enhanced mono dashed lw 1 'Helvetica' 14
set output '/dev/shm/TT.pdf'
quit

SO any suggestions?

So, if you were trying to write a gnuplot script, why is the shebang asking for it to be run by bash?
