$LASTCHECK$ available for servicechecks ?

[Ethan Galstad]

It is available, its just a bit unstable...

If used in the check command, it will refer to the time the service 
was last checked (i.e. 5 minutes ago).

If used in perf data commands, etc. it refers to the time of the most 
recent service check (i.e. now).  The reason for this is the last 
check time member of the service structure gets updated as soon as 
the checks results come back (and before perf data commands, event 
handlers, OCSP, etc. get executed).
