The ``sixth'' field (the rest of the line) specifies the command to be
run. 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 variable of the cronfile. Percent-signs (%) in the command,
unless escaped with backslash (\), will be changed into newline char
acters, and all data after the first % will be sent to the command as
standard input.
