converting rows to clumns using shell script
I have a script which converts rows to columns.
file_name=$1
mailid=$2
#CREATE BACKUP OF ORIGINAL FILE
#cp ${file_name}.xlsx ${file_name}_temp.xlsx
#tr '\t' '|' < ${file_name}_temp.xlsx > ${file_name}_temp.csv
#rm ${file_name}_temp.xlsx
pivot_row=`head -1 ${file_name}`
sed 1d ${file_name}>Sandeep
print "QUARTER\tMETRIC\tMETRIC_VALUE" > pivot_results.xlsx
#LOOP WHILE ROWS ARE LEFT
while IFS= read line
do
counter=1
curr_line=$line
curr_metric=`echo $line | cut -f1 -d","`
curr_value="dummy"
#LOOP WHILE COLUMN VALUES FOR THE CURRENT ROW ARE NOT NULL
while [[ $curr_value != "" ]];
do
((counter=counter+1))
curr_value=`echo $line | cut -f${counter} -d","`
if [[ $curr_value != "" ]]; then
curr_pivot_value=`echo $pivot_row | cut -f${counter} -d","`
print "${curr_pivot_value}\t${curr_metric}\t${curr_value}" >> pivot_results.xlsx
fi
done
done < Sandeep
rm Sandeep
echo "Pivoting completed successfully!!"

sestatus.conf

sestatus.conf(5)					    sestatus configuration file 					  sestatus.conf(5)

NAME

       sestatus.conf - The sestatus(8) configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       The sestatus.conf file is used by the sestatus(8) command with the -v option to determine what file and process security contexts should be
       displayed.

       The fully qualified path name of the configuration file is:
	      /etc/sestatus.conf

       The file consists of two optional sections as described in the FILE FORMAT section. Whether these exist or not, the following  will  always
       be displayed:
	      The current process context
	      The init process context
	      The controlling terminal file context

FILE FORMAT

       The format consists of two optional sections as follows:
	      [files]
	      file_name
	      [file_name]
	      ...

	      [process]
	      executable_file_name
	      [executable_file_name]
	      ...

       Where:
	      [files]
		     The start of the file list block.
	      file_name
		     One  or  more  fully qualified file names, each on a new line will that will have its context displayed. If the file does not
		     exist, then it is ignored. If the file is a symbolic link, then sestatus -v will also display the target file context.

	      [process]
		     The start of the process list block.
	      executable_file_name
		     One or more fully qualified executable file names that should it be an active process, have its context displayed. Each entry
		     is on a new line.

EXAMPLE

       # /etc/sestatus.conf
       [files]
       /etc/passwd
       /etc/shadow
       /bin/bash

       /lib/libc.so.6
