Per "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 variable of the cronfile. Percent-signs (%) in the command, unless escaped with backslash (\), will be changed into new-line characters, and all data after the first % will be sent to the command as standard input.
