openssl ca : -batch option error

[Sandipan Gangopadhyay]

Do we need openssl 0.9.6 for the -batch option ? Will it work with 0.9.4 ?   It gives - -batch: No such file or directory 1549:error:02001002:system library:fopen:system lib:bss_file.c:244:fopen('-batch ','r') 1549:error:20074002:BIO routines:FILE_CTRL:system lib:bss_file.c:246:
