There are couple of options - find and tmpwatch. Here are some examples:
find /var/log/samba -mtime +5 -exec rm {} \;
tmpwatch 120 /var/log/samba
tmpwatch --nodirs --mtime 120/usr/openv/netbackup/logs/
Both will do what you want. You can look at the various timestamps to
see if you want to base your deletion on created time, modified time, or
access time.
