>Hi everyone,

>I'm using check_nt with NSClient++ to check and see if a service is
running on a >Win 2003 server. The service I want to monitor is called
"MSSQL$DESTINY". The >check is failing and it says "MSSQL$: Unknown". It
certainly appears that the dollar >sign in the service name is causing a
problem. I've tried quoting the service name >and escaping the $ with a
backslash. No luck so far. Any ideas?

Tim,

This is what we are doing here (thanks to a suggestion from this message
board.)

Define service{
	Use			generic-service
	Host_name		sql_server
	Service_description	check_sql_service
	Check_command	check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l
mssql$"$"destiny
	}
