Hi Gany,

To see files that are older than 30 days since their last modification, in descending order

# find /path -xdev -type f -mtime +30 -exec ls -l {} \+ | sort -k5,5 -nr

I do not think we can get file creation time.

/opt directory - One of the operating system file system were you application data's may also resides under it, better not to touch unless you sure that some of the application logs if you are willing to clean them ?

you can use find command => to check last 30days

find /opt -type f -mtime +30 |xargs ll {} \; \;

man find -> more information

unaccessed file last 30 days => its pity Odd to check them :(

find /opt -type f -mtime +30 -exec ls -l {} \+ | sort -k5,5 -nr

File creation timestamp is not available in Unix.
