Features:

• Progress is reported in output.
• Passwords are not reported in output.
• Uses cPanel whmapi1 command line tool to perform the change so system, mysql, ftp and mail passwords are updated as well.

Limitations:

• Passwords must be column 3
• The first (header) line of the CSV file is skipped completely
