NCSA Service check question

[Brandon Vanderberg]

$$ didn't work for me, but changing the command worked like a charm. 
Thanks so much!

Regards

Brandon

That looks good. I'll test it tomorrow. 

Thanks!

its been a while since I looked at that issue, But 
 
I thought $$ works?  (my test sever is down so I cannot test)
 
Sometimes having the command definition like such helps:
command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -l '$ARG1$' -d SHOWALL
 
then you do not need to worry about loosing the ' between the  command and the definition,
 
but my test server is down so I cannot test these options.

Hi all, quick question here that I hope is appropriate for this list. 
 
I'm querying a Windows box w/ NSClient for services using check_nt -v SERVICESTATE -l (list of services). 
One of the services I'm checking has a dollar sign ($) in its name. This causes the check to barf. 
 
A standard check runs fine when surrouded by ' : 
 /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_nt -H host.blah.blah -v SERVICESTATE -l 'MSSQL$VITALSQLEXPRESS'
All services are running
 
But using the same in my services.cfg with either  '  ` or " doesn't have the desired effect. 
 
Here's my checkcommand.cfg entry if it's helpful.

define command{
        command_name    check_nt_service
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$ -d SHOWALL

Any ideas? Renaming the service really isn't an option and though I can monitor the process, I'd really rather not. 
 
Regards and thanks in advance,
 
B Vanderberg
