Starting apache ssl with a script

Hello,
I would like to start my apache server in ssl mode from an rc.x script. However, httpd asks for a passphase before starting the ssl part. I tried to have the passphrase entered thru a script bu it just sits there without starting the server. Is there a secure and automated way of starting httpd/ssl?

Thanks!!!
That worked.
The command I used was

openssl rsa -in key.pem -out keyout.pem
