My apologies, it's not my day today ;).

I don't know if the exit status available after

  sort -u /tmp/foobar.txt > /etc/pf/bruteforce

is from "sort" and/or ">", at least

  sort -u /tmp/foobar.txt | tee /etc/pf/bruteforce

ensures that it's the status returned from "tee", but I suspect ">"
works, too.
