I would like to execute a lynx command in a cron that visits a particular url.But i get an error "Your terminal lacks the ability to clear te screen"
why do you want to do this? If you want the view the page, then a crontab is not your answer. That will not show you output on your screen.
If you want to dump the html source or html output to a file, then you aren't passing the correct command line options to lynx.
read up on lynx -help to find out what to do.
finally, you probably want wget anyway.
