Escaping Exclamation Points

[Christopher Falk]

Hello all,

Never posted here before, but it's been helpful to follow along with the various threads.

My issue is with checking NT services with exclamation points in their names. The following check command is sent to NSClient++:

check_nt_service!'Act! Scheduler'

and fails with a No Output! error in Nagios. I've tried \!, $!, double quotes, and to no avail.

Has anybody had success escaping an exclamation point when it's part of a service name sent to NSClient++?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
