Script to automate the creation and management of EC2 EBS snapshots

Question

What is the best way to automate (daily) snapshots of my EBS volumes (2) and manage them.

"Manage" I mean that I am looking for a script that will not only create daily backups (I assume the cron job will be enabled), but also delete snapshots that are older than x days, so that to avoid overuse of data .

I believe that such scripts really exist somewhere out there, but I don't seem to click one.
