I want to cron this command 'watch lynx --dump [url.com...] > /dev/null'. If I cron it like this, the php file isn't refreshed every 2 seconds. How can I make this work?

The most that cron will handle is a 60-second cycle, otherwise your script would fall all over itself.
Your best bet is to run a single script, something like this:
#!/bin/shwhile( [ 1 -eq 1 ] );
do
watch lynx --dump http://www.url.com/file.php > /dev/null
sleep 2;
done
Run that, and it will keep going forever. On top of that, you could have a cron (that runs every minute), that checks to see if the script is running.
