Só pra constar, está na manpage (man 5 crontab):

...
     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 % char-
     acter, 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 characters, and
     all data after the first % will be sent to the command as standard input.
