From `man 5 crontab`:
The entire command portion of the line, up to a newline or %
character, will be executed by /bin/sh or by the shell specified
in the SHELL vari- able of the cronfile. Percent-signs (%) in
the command, unless escaped with backslash (\), will be changed
into newline characters, and all data after the first % will be
sent to the command as standard input.
