Using $ in password

[Jason.Shein at iovate.com]

Normally, doubling the $ sign and eclosing the statement in single quotes 
works fine.

[Nagios-users] Using $ in password






Dear All,

I have a simple question. What should I do to include the character $ as 
one
of the password characters in the check command?

Here are some required information:

1- OS FC 5

2- kernel 2.6.18-1

3- Nagios version 2.5

4- The command definition

# 'check_httpp' command definition
define command{
        command_name    check_httpp
        command_line    $USER1$/check_http -p $ARG1$ -I $ARG2$ -t 120 -a
$ARG3$
        }
5- The service configuration

define service{
        use                             generic-service
        host_name                       XXXX
        service_description             YYY
        contact_groups                  ZZZ
        check_command check_httpp!61002!192.168.1.4!:33$77
        }
When I execute the command manually it works.

Any help will be much appreciated

Regards
