[Nagiosplug-devel] FW: check_nt issue

[Michael R Burgess]

Sorry for not looking deeper into the documentation.

Finally found it here http://support.nagios.com/knowledgebase/faqs/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=52&catid=35&faq_id=413&expand=false&showdesc=true

Actually needed two backslashes and a second $. So service$name would be service\\$$name.

Thanks again!
