 Then, you can just run miid every time the channel's output is updated:
 
-	`$ miid irc/$IRC_NETWORK/$IRC_CHANNEL $BOT_NICK`

 It helps to have inotifywait installed, so this can be done automatically:
 
-	`$ while inotifywait -e close_write irc/$IRC_NETWORK/$IRC_CHANNEL/out; \
+	$ while inotifywait -e close_write irc/$IRC_NETWORK/$IRC_CHANNEL/out; \
 	  do \
 	 	 sh miid irc/$IRC_NETWORK/$IRC_CHANNEL/ $BOT_NICK; \
-	  done`
+	  done
