We have a windows service called "AOS$01" I have put this into the config file as below:

check_nt!SERVICESTATE! -d SHOWALL -l AOS$01

when I run Nagios it then says the service does not exist and is only showing "AOS$" as the service it is not picking up the "01"

How do i get it to pick up the numbers as well

regards
andy

You need to escape the dollar sign as it is used to denote Nagios macros like $HOSTADDRESS$ and the likes. Instead of just AOS$01 try AOS$$01 and see if that helps.
