Each processor only gets used for the directory that follows it.  So
if you specify a processor with a directory after it, that processor
will never be used.  You could do something like this:

#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1

exec /usr/local/bin/multilog \
  '-*' '+*mark=384*' \
  !"/root/dynfw3/conntrack/log/processor1" s16777215 n2 ./eth0 \
  '-*' '+*mark=387*' \
  !"/root/dynfw3/conntrack/log/processor2;
    /path/to/script-that-runs-after-the-other-processors" s16777215 n2 ./eth1 \

Each processor is run by passing the string to /bin/sh -c, so multiple
commands like this is ok.  Note that if the eth1 log fills up and gets
rotated before SIGALRM comes, then those last two ocmmand will both
run, even if there's nothing new to do for the eth0 log.
