I am by no means the expert, but if you have a key file (I think it's the key
file!) on your server, then that can contain your passphrase. And you won't
be prompted. If it is an *encrypted* key file, then you need a passphrase
to unlock the key, and *then* you get prompted.

If you are going to use a script that contains the password, then you
might as well put the password in a file. mod_ssl can exec a program so
your "script" is as easy as
#! /bin/sh
echo secret_p
