Notifications should be turned on the central server where Nagios/NSCA is accepting the checks. Thanks!

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. _________________________________ log_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/nagios.log cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/checkcommands.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/misccommands.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contactgroups.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hostgroups.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/hosts.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/services.cfg cfg_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/timeperiods.cfg illegal_macro_output_chars=`~$&|'"<> resource_file=/usr/local/nagios/etc/resource.cfg nagios_user=root nagios_group=nagios check_external_commands=1 command_check_interval=-1 command_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/rw/nagios.cmd use_syslog=1 log_notifications=1 log_service_retries=1 log_host_retries=1 log_event_handlers=1ocal/nagios/etc/resource.cfg log_initial_states=1mesh/nagios-logs/status.log log_external_commands=1 service_reaper_frequency=10 sleep_time=1 service_check_timeout=60 host_check_timeout=30 event_handler_timeout=30 notification_timeout=30 ocsp_timeout=5 perfdata_timeout=5 use_agressive_host_checking=0 execute_service_checks=1 accept_passive_service_checks=1 enable_notifications=1 enable_event_handlers=1 process_performance_data=0 illegal_object_name_chars=`~!$%^&*|'"<>?,()= retain_state_information=1 state_retention_file=/usr/local/nagios/var/status.sav retention_update_interval=60 use_retained_program_state=1 interval_length=60 admin_email=nkaranuk@localhost ______________________________ 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, nkaranUk </div> </body> </html>
