Jmeter - Run .jmx file through command line and get the summary report in a excel
JMeter can be launched in non-GUI mode as follows:
jmeter -n -t /path/to/your/test.jmx -l /path/to/results/file.jtl
You can set what would you like to see in result jtl file via playing with JMeter Properties.
See jmeter.properties
file under /bin folder of your JMeter installation and look for those starting with
jmeter.save.saveservice.

Uncomment the one you are interested in and set it's value to change the default. Another option is override property in user.properties
file or provide it as a command-line argument using -J
key as follows:
jmeter -Jjmeter.save.saveservice.print_field_names=true -n /path/to/your/test.jmx -l /path/to/results/file.jtl
See Apache JMeter Properties Customization Guide for more details on what can be done using JMeter Properties.
You can use this command,
jmeter -n -t /path to the script.jmx -l /path to save results with file name file.jtl
But if you really want to run a load test in a remote machine, you should be able to make it run eventhough you close the window. So we can use nohup to ignore the HUP (hangup) signal. So you can use this command as below.
nohup sh jmeter.sh -n -t /path to the script.jmx -l /path to save results with file name file.jtl &
You can run JMeter from the command line using the -n parameter for 'Non-GUI' and the -t parameter for the test plan file.
jmeter -n -t "PATHTOJMXFILE"
If you want to further customize the command line experience, I would direct you to the 'Getting Started' section of their documentation.
