Sure, something like:

/patch/to/newlogcheck.sh /var/log/hosts/robot/`date '+%d%m20%y'`/messages

Most people still keep logs someplace like /var/log/messages so that things
like logcheck and just some random person wanting to check for errors can
still find the logs, then just rotate/delete them every day and store the
/var/log/HOSTS stuff according to some longer retention policy. Seems easier
in the long run.
