NAME

osdsh - Overlays your screen with various system informations

SYNOPSIS

osdsh [options]

DESCRIPTION

osdsh is a a little program that overlays system information using the XOSD library. OSDsh was originally based on osdd but got some features added, like:
* It is able to display a clock.
* Shows the volume levels of the soundcard whenever they change.
* Tells you if you are on- or off-line, and the time you were con
nected.
* Shows the battery status and
* shows any message you want it to.
osdsh forks to the background when started and should be started in the user's session scripts (like ~/.xsession)
