removing files - time based

[MarkElls]

I need a bit of help. I want to write a ksh file that will do the following.
look at the time a file was created if the toime is older than 30 miutes then copy it to another directory.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.

touch a reference file and use test option "-ot" older than

"example" I do not program in ksh, i prefere csh, please code yourself...
"now" its 13:30 so you need a referencefile with timecode 13:00
touch -t `date '+%m%d'`1300 reffile
do a foreach loop over all your files and
test loopfile -ot reffile
-> mv
else
-> keep it
