Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox/issues/1361

Because cmd is only set within the except path, an exception (cannot access local variable 'cmd' where it is not associated with a value) is thrown instead of the ArchiveResult actually being saved. This results in the htmltotext.txt existing in the archive data but not in the archive results table.

Setting cmd should be moved before the try.
