This runs openssl in "interactive" mode and runs the version command 
from that mode. That's quite a strange thing to do in a script.

The above is equivalent to the following non-interactive mode command:

openssl version

Interactive mode is no longer supported. Just run it non-interactively. 
That will also remove the "OpenSSL>" prompt.
