NSClient Monitoring Service States with a $

[Aaron Segura]

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/xodtemplate.html#command

 

command_line: 

This directive is used to define what is actually executed by Nagios
when the command is used for service or host checks, notifications, or
event handlers
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/eventhandlers.html> . Before the
command line is executed, all valid macros
<http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html>  are replaced with
their respective values. See the documentation on macros for determining
when you can use different macros. Note that the command line is not
surrounded in quotes. Also, if you want to pass a dollar sign ($) on the
command line, you have to escape it with another dollar sign

So use $$ instead of $.  Unless I'm misunderstanding the
question...which is entirely possible.  I don't feel well currently.

Do you mean surround the string with $ or add a $ somewhere in the
string?    It appears $ tells the string to trunk and go to the next
variable.

I run NSClient on my windows servers which allows you to check the
states of NT services.  When a service has a $ in the real name (not the
display name) the check_nt_services command can't find it.  I already
tried enclosing the string in quotes "" but that does not work.  Is
there any way around this or a better remote windows monitoring tool?
