You could be seeing repeated commands because both the kernel and LIRC are
responding.  These days, IR support is baked into the kernel, so using LIRC
as a separate service may not be necessary (although I still do).

Try this:

# cat /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols


You should see something like this:


# [rc-5] [nec] [rc-6] [jvc] [sony] [lirc]

You can tell the system that only lirc should respond:

# echo lirc > /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols

# cat /sys/class/rc/rc0/protocols

rc-5 nec rc-6 jvc sony [lirc]

Now, test the remote to see if the repeated commands have stopped. If so,
place the echo command in your startup script so it happens at every
reboot. For EL6, mine is at /etc/rc.local
