Description

This script is a wrapper for running IPControl CLI imports with CSV files.
It validates input, runs the import, generates reject/error files, and reports runtime duration.

---

Usage

./ipctrl_importer.sh <bash_script> <csv_file>

• bash_script: Path to the IPControl CLI wrapper script (must be executable).

Features

• Uses static credentials (default: incadmin/incadmin) — adjust in the script as needed.
• Runs the import with options:
  • -f <csv_file> → import data
  • -r <reject_file> → reject log (same name with _reject.csv)
  • -e <error_file> → error log (same name with _error.csv)
• Measures and prints total runtime.

---
