I guess it can't. Cronolog just organizes the log-files in a neat
way, with human readable dates. I guess you have read the web-page
and so you know it can't do all the things you are asking for. :-)
The only other thing I can come up with is to use rotatelogs and
write your own script for handling the compression, renaming and
so on, and then put that into crontab. :-)

Best regards,
Paul
