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)
