| Description: | In your service definition file, you may need to pass a $ symbol as an argument to a service check.
For example, MS SQL Server instances are named "MSSQL$INSTANCE1". Your service definition would look like this:
check_command check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l MSSQL$INSTANCE
This will not work.

| Solution: | For Nagios 2, add a second dollar ($) symbol, like this:
check_command check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l MSSQL$$INSTANCE
For Nagios 3, add two backslashes and a second dollar (\\$) symbol, like this:
check_command check_command check_nt!SERVICESTATE!-d SHOWALL -l MSSQL\\$$INSTANCE
