cron jobs are not working - problem with find command

Env: 4.2 model: 7011

Desc: Customer running a find command from a cron job and it errors
out with 0652-018 and expression term lacks a required parameter. The
find command works fine from the command line.

Action: Remembered that the find command had been changed for POSIX
compliance in AIX 4.1.4  Searched in Austext and the fix is to end the find
command with \\\\\\; instead of \\;.

Next: The customer's command is:

 /bin/find /tmp -type f -mtime +7 -exec rm {} \\\\\\; 2>/dev/null. 
Customer tested this on 4.2 and the find command worked from
the cron.
