The daemon is controlled by writing simple strings into the pipe residing in ~/.xosdutil/xosdutilctl. Currently available commands are:

  1. time: shows the current time (in a pseudo-Czech format, will be fixed eventually)
  2. uptime: shows the current uptime in a similar format to the uptime utility.
  3. exit: stops the daemon.

It is useful to map commands like echo 'time' > ~/.xosdutil/xosdutilctl to shortcuts in your window manager.
