Bad idea, add it to your /etc/init.d scripts instead.

Crontab is for programs you want to start on a periodic basis.
/etc/init.d is for starting/stopping programs when you start up your
system or change runlevels.

With OpenSuSE there's "/etc/init.d/festival", and you use:

   Yast2 -> System -> System Services (Runlevel)

to configure whether the Festival daemon is started automatically.

Other Linux versions should have similar methods of configuring
daemon auto-start.
