check postgres - parsing password

[Chris]

I am using the check_pgsql plugin to check my postgres database on a
remote server. My postgres password has special characters "$" and
"#". It works fine from the command line when I parse my password
using the "\" escape sequence. But I tried from Nagios configuration
file and it says "Password authentication failed." commands.cfg has

define command{
        command_name check_postgres
        command_line $USER1$/check_pgsql -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -l $ARG1$ -p
$ARG2$ -d $ARG3$
}

unix.cfg

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       server1
        service_description             Postgres Database Engine
        check_command
check_postgres!nagios!pa$$w#rd!database_name
        }

In commands.cfg I have tried putting the password directly with escape
sequence and double quotes, with no luck.

Can anyone please help me resolve this issue?

Thanks.
