escaping $ signs

[Anthony Montibello]

You can check this service using NC_Net.

I tested this from both the command line and from nagios.
the double $$ did not work with NC_NEt but \$ did

from command line:
-v SERVICESTATE -l "MSSQL$$BKUPEXEC"
MSSQL14962BKUPEXEC: Unknown

-v SERVICESTATE -l "MSSQL\$BKUPEXEC"
All services are running

-v SERVICESTATE -l "MSSQL\$BKUPEXEC" -d SHOWALL
MSSQL$BKUPEXEC: Started

>From Nagios I used the following Command/Configuration.
check_command check_nc_net_with_l_d!SERVICESTATE!MSSQL\$BKUPEXEC!SHOWALL

define command{
command_name check_nc_net_with_l_d
command_line $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 1248 -v $ARG1$ -l
"$ARG2$" -d $ARG3$
}
