I'd just create a mapping something like

:nnoremap <f4> :suspend<bar>echo 'Doing something after
'.strftime('%c')

Then, suspend using F4 (one could create a similar ":command"
version if you wanted to do it from the command-line, even
mapping the normal-mode version to that new command).

From my testing (Linux + rxvt + bash + Vim7.2) the strftime()
shows that the stuff after the bar triggers after control returns
to Vim (rather than executing it concurrently).
