Error checkin a windows service

[Tedman Eng]

This is in the documentation.  You need to escape the dollar sign.

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/1_0/xodtemplate.html#command

command_line: This directive is used to define what is actually executed by
Nagios when the command is used for service or host checks, notifications,
or event handlers. Before the command line is executed, all valid macros are
replaced with their respective values. See the documentation on macros for
determining when you can use different macros. Note that the command line is
not surrounded in quotes. Also, if you want to pass a dollar sign ($) on the
command line, you have to escape it with another dollar sign.

Hi all!! :)
I have a little problem with Nagios monitoring: if i run from command 
line ./check_nt -H 10.8.6.156 -p 1248 - v SERVICESTATE -l 'MSSQL$DBWSS' 
the result is "All services are running" but when i go to the status 
page in the Nagios web interface i see a error message that says " 
MSSQL$DBWSS$: Unknown"
I don't know why Nagios append a $ synbol to the name of the service and 
return this error.

This is the comman from the checkcommand file:

define command{
        command_name    check_nt_dblms
        command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -p 1248 -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v 
SERVICESTATE -l 'MSSQL$DBLMS'
        }

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks in advance

Marco
