[systemd-devel] Bare Metal or VM

Hi,

This may be an "uninformed" question since I've not done much with systemd.

Is there a way for a service or unit to be aware if the environment is Bare Metal or a Virtual Machine.

For example, a unit is triggered by a user logging in as a graphical user.  But, I only want the unit's
ExecStart to be processed if the environment is a qemu VM.  I'd rather not have the process started on
Bare Metal since it would be unused.

Thanks,
Ed
