Escaping Exclamation Points

[Christopher Falk]

Unquoting it all gives me "Act: Unknown" instead of no response at all. 

check_nt_service is: 

define command{ 
command_name check_nt_service 
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v SERVICESTATE -l $ARG1$ 
} 

Thanks, 

Chris

Remove ' or complete, for example 
check_nt_service!Act! Scheduler or check_nt_service!'Act'! 'Scheduler' 
Put here commands.cfg for check_nt_service
