linux - logrotate: apply rotation to other files when the actual file rotates

Question

I have an embedded linux system, which runs several applications. These applications log to two files. Lets call those files A.log and B.log. What I want is to rotate A.log with, for example this rule:

/mnt/log/A.log {
    rotate 5
    size 100M
}

And whenever this rotation happens, I want to rotate B.log too. This will ensure that whenever I retrieve both A.log and B.log, they will contain logs for the same time span.

A solution might be to use a post rotation script and call logrotate -f on B.log.
