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 fea-
       tures 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)
