find /path -ctime +2 -ok rm {} \;

This will find all files starting with /path that have been changed
more than 2 days ago and will prompt you for deleting them one by one. 
Get rid of the -ok if you KNOW it will delete only the files you want
deleted.  Change -ctime to -atime to find by access time rather than
modification time.

I have a simple shell script that runs from cron and makes a backup of
some
filed to another PC via NFS.  I want to have it automatically delete
old
backups form the NFS server.  How would I do that, is there a delete
files
older then N days command?
