Submit passive check result for a service sending out duplicate alert mails?

[Karan uk]

Hi,
I've got Nagios-1.3 installed on rh7.3.The nagios.cfg i'm using is as
below.Rest cfg files are as per the docs.

The issue i'm facing is that when an external command is run like
"Submitting a passive check for a service" i receive two email alerts rather
that just one.
I've checked the no.of entries of this external command made in the
nagios.cmd n found that just one entry is made per external command,is
something like<div class='indent'>[1138685516]
PROCESS_SERVICE_CHECK_RESULT;nkaranuk;GENERIC_DB_CONNECTION;2;submitting a
passive check manually</div>.So is this a normal behavior or i'm missing
some key configuration that is causing these duplicate alerts.

ran 'ps axuw | grep nagios' ..got only single nagios process as below
root 1105 0.0 0.0 1816 840 pts/0 S 22:07 0:00 /usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg

looking forward to your thoughts,
