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)
