Perhaps this is more to your point:

Create a "stub" script to which you will pass the command you want to execute complete with options. It will initially display the data you desire then call the specified command.

/usr/local/bin/logit.ksh

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

    echo "$(date +'%y%m%d'):$$:$1:\c"

    exec $*

In the calling script:

/usr/local/bin/logit.ksh ls -l /var/log

will output something like this:

070224:11245:ls:total 36
-rw------- 1 root sys 0 Sep 30 2005 authlog
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 639 Feb 14 2006 sysidconfig.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 5375 Feb 24 06:59 syslog
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 8319 Sep 3 08:02 syslog.0
-rw-r----- 1 root sysadmin 1325 Feb 24 07:47 tcplog

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
       /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
       /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
