How to pass parameter from cron command to codeigniter function?

Question

I am working with code-igniter and running a function from cron job.

class event extends CI_Controller {
  public function newEvent()
    {
         //some process here using the parameter
    }

} 

cron command:

* */2 * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/project/index.php 'event/newEvent/parameter'

I want to pass the parameter like written in cron command and do some process with that parameter in newEvent function.

What extra code I should write in my function to receive the parameter from cron command.

Thanks
