This could be better written as:
lynx --source http://www.projecthoneypot.org/bots_and_servers.php \
| grep bnone | sed -es"/<\/a>//" -es"/.*>/deny from /" >> html/.htaccess.tmp
(insert some code to sanity-check the result of the fetch here)
cp html/.htaccess html/.htaccess-prev
mv html/.htaccess.tmp html/.htaccess
This ensures that:
a) your current config is backed up
b) network timeouts to projecthoneypot.org don't leave you exposed
for $SOME_NUM seconds
