You can actually change all the defaults in your openssl.cnf and then when 
generating via "openssl req" you can do an input redirection from a file full 
of carriage returns.  Or if you don't feel like changing the conf file then 
just include the info on the input redirection file and do the same step.

'openssl req -new -key my.key -out my.csr < file_containing_details'
