why argus is sending 2 notifications by E-mail for the same event?

While I would tend to agree with you, the second instance should be a
child of the first :

[friz at jake ~]$ ps -ef | grep -i argus
root     13476     1  0 May26 ?        00:00:00 Argus
root     28108 13476  1 Jun03 ?        02:39:12 Argus
root     28196 28108  0 Jun03 ?        00:15:31 /usr/bin/perl
/usr2/Argus/lib/graphd daemon
friz      4150  2227  0 22:08 pts/0    00:00:00 grep -i argus

In his case, it is not..  I think if he kills all instances of argus and
starts over, he may solve the problem...

(I had the same problem a few times..  Had one instance running as root,
one as a user..  confused me for a while)

Of course, this wouldn't hurt either..  :)
