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
connected.
* 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)
