Comparing modification time on files

[btinder]

Anyone know of a quick/easy way to check to see if a file hasn't been modified in the last 30 minutes?

For example, file1.txt hasn't been updated/touched since 10:30am, and file2.txt was last modified/touched at 10:55am, it's now 11:05am, how do I get the script to alert me that file1.txt is "too old" ( > 30 minutes old).

Ideas? Thanks!
