cellcli has spooling capabilities similar to sqlplus:
CellCLI> help spool
  Usage:  SPO[OL] [<filename> [ CRE[ATE] | REP[LACE] | APP[END]] | OFF ]
  Purpose: SPOOL <filename>: Direct the results to the file <filename>.
           SPOOL OFF: Turn off the spooling.
           SPOOL: Check the current spooling status.
  Arguments:
    <filename>: The filename where the results will be output.
  Options:
    [APPEND]: If the filename already exists, the following output will
              be appended to the file. Without this option, the existing file
              contents will be replaced.
    [CREATE]: If the filename already exists, an error is reported.
    [REPLACE]: If the filename already exists, the contents will be
              replaced.  This is the default, when no option is provided.
  Examples:
    spool myfile
    spool myfile append
    spool off
    spoolBut if you are trying to script it, it would be easier to just run it command line:
# cellcli -e "list metrichistory where objectType = 'CELL' and name = 'CL_TEMP'" > /tmp/CL_TEMP.txtAlso look into dcli which allows you to run cellcli commands on one or more cells from a compute node.
Good luck.
