[root at omajelut01 plugins]# /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/negate -c WARNING
/usr/lib64//nagios/plugins/check_nrpe -H host -t 50 -c
checkServiceState -a ShowAll MSSQLSERVER=started
CRITICAL: MSSQLSERVER: stopped (critical)
[root at omajelut01 plugins]# echo $?
1

register as a warning.  Perfect.  Thanks!
