Openssl cipher strength

I have read the forums for strengthing the openssl ciphers on a server and the following command I can run:

openssl ciphers -v 'TLSv1+HIGH:!SSLv2:RC4!MEDIUM:!aNULL:!eNULL:!3DES:!EXPORT:@STRENGTH'
I have some services that cannot be set to higher levels like you can set in an httpd.conf file. My questions is that if I run that command on a server does that change the default openssl setting permanently? does it change it for a session? Or am I just getting a list of ciphers?
