excel can open the .csv. why do you need to convert to .xls? shell cannot do it. you would have to use Perl or another language.

Here is the first google hit for perl csv to excel: CSV to Excel Converter

You'll need to install the relevant Perl modules, of course: Spreadsheet::WriteExcel and Text::CSV::Simple (maybe just Text::CSV). How to do that may depend on your distribution.
