I did an dirty hack / wrapper to get round this problem.

I called it: /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins/msauxdb.sh and used it to check
things like MSSQL$BKUPEXEC
Nagios uses $ to interpret arguments to commands.  So I only pass
BKUPEXEC in and let the wrapper add the MSSQL$
Remember to replace lib64 with lib if you are using a 32bit operating
system or replace it the entire path with the path where your nagios
plugins are installed.


#!/bin/bash
pushd /usr/lib64/nagios/plugins >/dev/null
if [ $# -lt 2 ]; then
  echo Invalid Parameters - use $0 HOSTADDRESS database [... database]
  exit 2
fi
PARAMS=''
DATABASES=`echo $* |cut -f2- -d\ `
for DATABASE in $DATABASES; do
  PARAMS="$PARAMS,MSSQL\$$DATABASE"
done
PARAMS=`echo $PARAMS |sed -e s/^\,//`
OUTPUT=`./check_nt -H $1 -p 12489 -s l3tm3ch3ck -v SERVICESTATE -l $PARAMS`
RETVAL=$?
popd >/dev/null
echo $OUTPUT
exit $RETVAL


If anyone has a better idea I would be interested to know, but as for
now, this works for me.

  Andrew.
