                Dear Experts,

                We have a situation where our Web Server starts up in SSL
mode using the command "apachectl startssl". This command needs a password
to be passed on everytime the Web Server is started. We are currently trying
to automate this so that when the machine is booted up, the web server also
starts up without explicitly asking for the password. But we are lost on how
to pass the password to the above command in our startup script. Any
suggestions please. Thanks.
