Lots of logs to move....don't remove if open

I have a ksh script that currently moves a day's worth of log files (about 15,000) files to a different directory. The issue is that about 100 of these files are still open for write when this happens. I need an efficient way to ensure that these files aren't open without doing an lsof on each individual file within my loop. I think I need to get the list of open files once, and then check my outer loop against this list or array, but I'm not quite sure how to script that. Any assistance?
Thanks
