I don't think the extension directive runs shell commands. You can do
something like this with the lastaction script which I got from Debian
lists (http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2004/08/msg04714.html)

lastaction 
	DATE=`date +%F`; mv /var/log/messages.1.gz /var/log/messages-$DATE.gz 
endscript

Modify to suit your needs.
