If you're using a Unix-like shell (e.g. bash), you can type the
following command at the shell:

     octave -q --eval `cat yourscript.m` > your-output-file

A slightly more elegant way is to make your script executable. You can
do this by putting the line "#!/path/to/octave -q" on a line by itself
at the beginning of your script (in an apt-based distro,
/path/to/octave usually is /usr/bin/octave, and if you built Octave
yourself it may be /usr/local/bin/octave"). You also need to set
executable permissions on the script. Do "chmod +x yourscript.m". Then
you can type at a shell prompt

     yourscript.m > your-output-file

I'm sure you can do something very similar to the first option I gave
you if you don't have a Unix-like shell available, but the second
option definitely demands a Unix-like OS.
