NEZD(1) FreeBSD General Commands Manual NEZD(1)

nezd - general-purpose messaging and notification for X11

nezd [-v] [-p [seconds]] [-m [v|h]] [-ta <l|c|r>] [-sa <l|c|r>] [-x <pixel>] [-y <pixel>] [-w <pixel>] [-tw <pixel>] [-e <string>] [-l <lines>] [-fn <font>] [-bg <color>] [-fg <color>] [-xs <screen>]

Nezd is a general-purpose messaging and notification program for X11, desigend to be scriptable in any language and integrate well with window managers like dwm, wmii and xmonad though it will work with any windowmanger.

Nezd expects the status message on its standard input, and uses a custom formatting language for colors and several other features (like bar meters and such). See README for detailed usage and scripting instructions.
