cron aged delete

I need a script that will check the age of files in a directory and delete files that meet aged criteria. i.e. Look into /store for files that are older that 90 days and delete them every day.

I would appreciate any help with this.

John

Code:
0 4 * * * find /store -ctime +90 -exec rm -rf {} \;

Some thing like that


Cheers,
Tink
