No idea about cronolog, but the logrotate program allows you to use a
date-based extension for your rotated files, rather than the normal
blah.log.1, blah.log.2, etc. Use the 'dateext' keyword in your
logrotate.conf file.
"dateext: Archive old versions of log files adding a daily extension
like YYYYMMDD instead of simply adding a number."
