Cronjob runs when manually started, but not on each reboot

Question

trying to program a cron job

here it is,

@reboot lynx -dump ft-server > /dev/null

When I run the job manually via webmin, all is well, does what it is supposed to, no error. But when I reboot the system, it does nothing.

Help!

Answer 1

Instead of trying to make lynx got to the website that was hosted locally, All I had to do was run the php file.

my command was not running because apache wasn't up yet.
