"!" in SNMP Community?

[Aaron Segura]

Create a $USERn$ macro with your community name in it and use that in
your commands...

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/macros.html (go to the bottom and
check out the '$USERn$' entry)

Subject: [Nagios-users] "!" in SNMP Community?

My SNMP community string has a bang (!) in it.  How do I properly pass
the community string with the check_snmp module?  I've tried using %21
as suggested by FAQ ID F0157
(http://www.nagios.org/faqs/viewfaq.php?faq_id=157), but that doesn't
work.  I've tried escaping it with \, but then the service doesn't
even execute.  I've tried putting the entire community string in
quotes (""), but that doesn't work either.  Thanks for any tips.
