| Yes, there are much better ways to handle that... |

You could have a cron job that wakes up every ten minutes, and looks
to see what copies of 'vi' are under idle/disconnected sessions,
and then do a "#kill -1 $PID" or even kill -9 if needed.
At the same time, and email message could be sent to the user
explaining the problem, likely cause, and preventative measures.
If teh same users are a problem over & over, then the script could
track that info- and disable 'vi' for just those people.
Another thing: these hanging sessions under closed ssh logins
could also be caused by bad communications & modem hangups-
instead of bad users who don't know any better... That would
cause a disconnect that wasn't even the users fault. They may
not even be aware that they are causing a problem on the server.
