I think the hack you are talking about is the only way to do this.

Dear rsysloggers, I am experimenting with replacing the standard Unix logfile rotation scheme with something more useful: $template authlog,"/var/log/auth.log_%$NOW%" auth,authpriv.* ?authlog One problem with this approach is that standard tools now cannot find /var/log/auth.log anymore. The canonical way to solve this could be to maintain a symlink from /var/log/auth.log to the current /var/log/auth.log_%$NOW%. Can rsyslog maintain this symlink somehow? The only thing I found was the Shell Execute action, which would lead to a gross hack.
