Issues : new item assign to task list , owner not receive alert

Step to check:

stsadm -o getproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -url http://abc.com/sites/XXXX

this command is check the alert timer job status :

Restults:
<Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" />
which  mean the alert timer will check every 5 minutes.
*normally this is standard setting

Run following command to check from SQL server whether new item created or not :
· use [content_DB
]
select top 50 itemname,EventData,ACL,* from EventCache order by EventTime desc
