This would make sense if the file is being updated every 30 minutes.
However, you may want to give it a 5 minute buffer to avoid timing false
alarms, like "mtime<2100".

NB:  I would have read this as "Turn red if the file is less than 30
minutes old" which would seem backwards but I'm reluctant to contradict
the author of the program :-).
