Adding custom mesg. when redirecting "exec 2>stderr.err" ?

Doubt regarding using "exec" command to redirect the STDERR to a file.
e.g I did it this way.

mystage.sh

#!/bin/sh exec 2>stage.err
....

....

cat stage.err
mv: cannot move `/root/stage' to a subdirectory of itself, `/root/stage_old/stage'
ls: *.zDB: No such file or directory

................
Now I want to add some timestamp details and some line indetations for this error log along with the redirection.
How should I do that ? Is there any method for that ?

Can you help me out. I want the error file to be as below

cat stage.err

Timestamp :30-06-08-01:39:10
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mv: cannot move `/root/stage' to a subdirectory of itself, `/root/stage_old/stage'

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Timestamp :30-06-08-01:39:12
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ls: *.DB: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kindly help me in this regard !!!

Thanks
Shankar

mdbFontEncoding(5)						 The m17n Library						mdbFontEncoding(5)

NAME
mdbFontEncoding - Font Encoding DESCRIPTION
The m17n library loads information about the encoding of each font form the m17n database by the tags <font, encoding>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format. FONT-ENCODING ::= PER-FONT * PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ENCODING [ REPERTORY ] ')' FONT-SPEC ::= '(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY [ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]] REGISTRY ')' ENCODING ::= SYMBOL FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font. See m17nFont for the meaning of each property. For instance, this FONT-SPEC: (nil alice0 lao iso8859-1) should be applied to all fonts whose family name is 'alice0 lao', and registry is 'iso8859-1'. ENCODING is a symbol representing a charset. A font matching FONT-SPEC supports all characters of the charset, and a character code is mapped to the corresponding glyph code of the font by this charset. REPERTORY is a symbol representing a charset or 'nil'. Omitting it is the same as specifying ENCODING as REPERTORY. If it is not 'nil', the charset specifies the repertory of the font, i.e, which character it supports. Otherwise, whether a specific character is supported by the font or not is asked to each font driver. For so called Unicode fonts (registry is 'iso10646-1'), it is recommended to specify 'nil' as REPERTORY because such fonts usually supports only a subset of Unicode characters. COPYRIGHT
