[Xymon] Service names from XymonPSClient

Hi all.

I have a windows service "MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID" that is being reported by the XymonPSClient. To monitor this service I need to add the following line in my analysis.cfg file:

SVC MSSQL$MICROSOFT##WID status=started

But, the # characters are seen as the start of a comment, so the result is this:

MSSQL$MICROSOFT: No matching service - want started/Any

I tried escaping the # characters with \ but that just resulted in:

MSSQL$MICROSOFT\: No matching service - want started/Any

Any ideas?

Thanks, JT
