Description Richard W.M. Jones 2011-03-08 13:15:40 UTC

Spec URL: http://oirase.annexia.org/rpms/virt-what-rhel-5/virt-what.spec
SRPM URL: http://oirase.annexia.org/rpms/virt-what-rhel-5/virt-what-1.9-1.1.src.rpm
Description:

virt-what is a shell script which can be used to detect if the program
is running in a virtual machine.

The program prints out a list of "facts" about the virtual machine,
derived from heuristics.  One fact is printed per line.

If nothing is printed and the script exits with code 0 (no error),
then it can mean either that the program is running on bare-metal or
the program is running inside a type of virtual machine which we don't
know about or cannot detect.

The package is simple and fine, approved.
