Maybe you can either:
1.
ask the user to do a ps -ef before editing the file
cerntst1:/# ps -ef | grep test
root 478570 611346 0 15:29:18 pts/2 0:00 vi test.txt <-----
root 647012 51760 0 15:29:39 pts/3 0:00 grep test
or
2.
create a program to detect the vi process and if vi test.txt is showing up in the process, exit.

pts_source
PTS_SOURCE(1) AFS Command Reference PTS_SOURCE(1)
NAME
pts_source - Read pts commands from a file
SYNOPSIS
pts source [-file] <file name> [-cell] <cell name>
[-noauth] [-localauth] [-force]
pts so [-f] <file name> [-c] <cell name>
[-n] [-l] [-f]
DESCRIPTION
The pts source runs commands from a file as if they were typed in pts interactive mode. The command can be run from the command line or
interactively.
CAUTIONS
Prior to OpenAFS 1.4.5 and OpenAFS 1.5.23, the pts source command was only available on Unix or Linux and when OpenAFS was compiled with
the supergroups option (disabled by default). As of OpenAFS 1.4.5 and 1.5.23, it is always available.
OPTIONS
pts source takes the following options:
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1).
-force
Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the
first error.
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or
-noauth options. For more details, see pts(1).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1).
OUTPUT
This command shows the output of each command in the file as if it were run normally.
EXAMPLES
Here is an example of using pts source in a pts interactive session:
% echo examine admin > /tmp/commands.txt
% pts interactive
pts> source /tmp/commands.txt
Name: admin, id: 1, owner: system:administrators, creator: anonymous,
membership: 2, flags: S----, group quota: 20.
pts> quit
