A.) look into writing your own solution, this path will teach you the most about linux. Use the find command
in a script, drop it into cron.

Absolutely learn all you can about rpm. Use yast in the meantime, just understand that yast works with rpm (i think?)
and in my past, yast couldn't be COMPLETELY trusted. It's best to KNOW the rpm command. Take this idea with all frontend gui
progs, always at least strive to know the backend first while using the gui.
