The program is any program that outputs the password to the standard
output, that is to the screen.

For example in C:
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
    printf("xxxxxx"); // replace xxxxxx with your actual password.
    return 0;
}

Another possibility is to use an executable script that just echoes the
password. 
If all you're looking for is a way to make Apache start without
intervention, this will do fine.
But in a real world environment where security is a concern, you may
want that program to be more sophisiticated.
