As with all things *nix, there is more than one way to do the job. You
might start with this idea -- or not. If you wanted to list all files
in the current directory over 29 days old (you said "30 or older) this
would do it:
$ find . -ctime +29 -print
--OR-- those older than 29 days in your home directory
$ find ~ -ctime +29 -print
--OR-- to discover older rpms in the yum cache
$ find /var/cache/yum -ctime +29 -print | grep .rpm
Man find is your friend. Don't be overwhelmed by its many options;
start simple and build up to your goal.
