check_command with $-Character

You will check a hidden Samba Share (e.g. C$) or a WindowsService with $ in the Servicename.

Example:
hidden samba share

nagios@nagioswiki.org:~/ 
define service {
  use                  windows-services
  name                 windows share
  service_description  hidden samba share c$
  check_command        check_disk_smb!c$
  register             0
}

Error message: 

Invalid Share Name ...\c

Solution:
So that Nagios recognizes the $ character, you must it be masked with a further $ character

nagios@nagioswiki.org:~/ 
define service {
  use                  windows-services
  name                 windows share
  service_description  hidden samba share c$
  check_command        check_disk_smb!c$$
  register             0
}

The same solution with the $$ is for the Problem with Windows Servicename.
