[SOLUTION][SunHELP] Quick script

Sorry for the confusion, I actually meant files not modified in the last 30
days. I actually needed to run this command to remove log files in an
archive directory we have for one of our applications. We had log files from
October of last year until last night, so I wanted to "purge" all of the log
files older than 30 days. The command I used was:

#find . ! -mtime -30 | /usr/bin/xargs rm -rf

Thanks for all the quick responses, this list is Da Bomb !!
