JJK,

Thanks for the quick response, it is really appreciated. Can I ask where you 
picked up the syntax for this command line (familiar with the various shells 
and /dev/null but couldn't put this together)?
this is off-topic for this list, but I cannot email you directly. You could try reading up at
  http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html

or any other hit that comes up when searching for "linux shell stderr redirect"

HTH,

Using 'openssl' in a Linux design and since it is a command line application it 
is always outputting content to the screen, for example:


openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 365 -subj
"/C=US/ST=Ohio/L=Cincinnati/O=www.ge.com/OU=AHMU-UNIT/CN=AHMU-UNIT"
-keyout start -out start

Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key

......................................................................
...................+++

.............+++

writing new private key to 'start'

-----


Trying to find a way to prevent the output being output to 'stdout' but have 
not found a parameter (can redirect to a file but  the .....+ characters are 
still written to the console).


There either has to be a missed parameter or bug exist?

This is not a bug or lacking feature.
The ....+ characters are written to stderr, so if you use
    openssl .....    > stdout 2> stderr
the characters disappear (into the file 'stderr'; use '2> /dev/null' to send 
then straight to bit-heaven).  This depends slightly on the shell you use, BTW. 
The above syntax is for bash/zsh/ksh; for csh/tcsh a different syntax applies.

HTH,

JJK
