/bin/sh: lynx: not found

I have this cron settings in crontab file:

SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin


*/5 * * * * lynx -dump http://www.domain.com/cron/realqueue

17 *    * * *   root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
25 6    * * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily )
47 6    * * 7   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly )
52 6    1 * *   root    test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly )

Lynx is installed on my Ubuntu as well.

Ofc in place of domain.com is my domain, just replaced.

Thanks ;)
