escaping $ characters

[HP Geeza]

Hi

I was wondering if anybody knew how to escape a $ sign when checking if a 
Windows service is running:

For example i have I have a line in a service:
check_command                   check_nt_service!"MSSQL$BKUPEXEC"
check_command                   check_nt_service!"SQLAgent$BKUPEXEC"

But nagios doesn't seem to like this.  The status information is saying:
MSSQL$: Unknown
SQLAgent$: Unknown

ALL OTHER Windows services are being detected fine (so my check_nt_service 
command is working).....therefor this makes me belive it is the $ sign in 
the name of the service which i am checking for.
