Check_nt services - $ in service name

[jeff vier]

okay.

Not sure why that would be - it's giving you that as the return value?

One thing I notice is that you have a space after your ! in your
check_command def.  I don't think that it'd like that.

I don't think this will do it, but *occasionally* in Unixland, things
like to be double escaped when being 'passed' like it is here.
So you could try
check_command           check_nt_service!MSSQL\\$BKUPEXEC
But I'd be surprised if that did it :)

You might also try defining another command and setting the -l
to MSSQL\$BKUPEXEC (or maybe just MSSQL$BKUPEXEC) explicitly instead of
using the ARG1 macro.
