 This variable is now set by all systemd units generated by `podman-generate-systemd` and is set to `%n` (i.e., the name of systemd unit starting the container).
 This data is then being used in the auto-update sequence to instruct systemd (via DBUS) to restart the unit and hence to restart the container.
 
-Note that`podman auto-update` relies on systemd. The systemd units are expected to be generated with `podman-generate-systemd --new`, or similar units that create new containers in order to run the updated images.

 Systemd units that start and stop a container cannot run a new image.
