We have a trigger that uses SOQL. It is intended to fire when changes are made to Leads from the UI. It works fine. We have a scheduled job that updates thousands of leads at one time. That causes the trigger to fire and thus the scheduled job fails due to governor limits.
Is there a way using the UserInfo object in the trigger to determine if the currently running user is 'system'? If I can determine this in the trigger, then I can bypass all the trigger logic and not exceede the governor limits.
And... Am I correct in assuming the Scheduled Jobs are running as System?

I have the answer; sort-of. I bypass the trigger logic by checking if Userinfo.getSessionID() != null
If this is true, then a UI user is making a change If Userinfo.getSessionID() is NULL, then the change came from a scheduled job.
As a note, while developing the code for a scheduled job, using the Developer Console to run a class will make getSessionID() return a valid session ID.
