Multiple Nagios proccesses running.

[Larry Naves]

Even when I ensure that all nagios processes are killed and then start
nagios again, I still get muliple processes. I have tried using the init
script to start (service nagios start #not restart) and running the
executable by hand (/usr/local/nagios/bin/nagios -d
/usr/local/nagios/etc/nagios.cfg) but both continue to give me multiple
processes. What am I doing wrong? See below:
