NCSA Service check question

[Anthony Montibello]

its been a while since I looked at that issue, But

I thought $$ works?  (my test sever is down so I cannot test)

Sometimes having the command definition like such helps:
command_line    $USER1$/check_nt -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -v SERVICESTATE -l
'$ARG1$' -d SHOWALL

then you do not need to worry about loosing the ' between the  command and
the definition,

but my test server is down so I cannot test these options.
