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
       access /dev/mem. So on you have to wrap imvirt with sudo  if  you  want  to  detect  every
       virtualization technology.
