NAME

       imvirt - detects several virtualizations

SYNOPSIS

       imvirt

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual page documents briefly the imvirt script.  imvirt tries to
       detect if it runs on a physical machine or on a virtualized one. If  it
       detects  that  it  is a virtualized one it also tries to find out which
       virtualization technology is used.

USAGE

       imvirt does not need any arguments.  But  there  is  at  the  moment  a
       restriction if you do not call this script with the administrative root
       user,  because  imvirt  also  uses  dmidecode  to  determine  the  used
       virtualization  technology.  dmidecode  itself needs root privileges to
       accesss /dev/mem. So on you have to wrap imvirt with sudo if  you  want
       to detect every virtualization technology.

SEE ALSO
