Don't run nagios. 

In the older 1.x versions (might be fixed in the latest 1.x version but
I can't remember and can't be bothered to check) nagios is very likely
to have multiple instances if you restart it or if you stop/start it too
quickly (here, "too quickly" means "before existing insatances have died"). 

If you're running an affected version then either use ps to see if there
are still outstanding nagios processes or terminate them with extreme
prejudice or stop using nagios.  None of those are ideal options but those
are your choices.
