You want to print "hello world" on reboot, then you need to tweak /etc/conf.d/local.start. Look into the command wall (man wall).
Cron is used to run certain programs repeatedly at specified times and not while rebooting system, etc (which can happen at any time or which may not happen at all for a long time, depending on your usage ).
