I might suggest that you approach this differently.
If the user is logged out, there will be no tty listed in ps - it will be a question mark.
Secondly - hanging processes like this are almost always some badly written app - don't you already know what the process name is??
Another often useful clue for these things is that they sometimes accumulate much more CPU time than would be normal (again, badly written to start with and they go insane when disconnected from their pty).

NAME
flock - Manage locks from shell scripts
SYNOPSIS
flock [-sxon] [-w timeout] lockfile [-c] command...
flock [-sxon] [-w timeout] lockdir [-c] command...
flock [-sxun] [-w timeout] fd
DESCRIPTION
This utility manages flock(2) locks from within shell scripts or the command line.
The first and second forms wraps the lock around the executing a command, in a manner similar to su(1) or newgrp(1). It locks a specified
file or directory, which is created (assuming appropriate permissions), if it does not already exist.
The third form is convenient inside shell scripts, and is usually used the following manner:
(
flock -s 200
# ... commands executed under lock ...
) 200>/var/lock/mylockfile
The mode used to open the file doesn't matter to flock; using > or >> allows the lockfile to be created if it does not already exist, how-
ever, write permission is required; using < requires that the file already exists but only read permission is required.
By default, if the lock cannot be immediately acquired, flock waits until the lock is available.
OPTIONS
-s, --shared
Obtain a shared lock, sometimes called a read lock.
-x, -e, --exclusive
Obtain an exclusive lock, sometimes called a write lock. This is the default.
-u, --unlock
Drop a lock. This is usually not required, since a lock is automatically dropped when the file is closed. However, it may be
required in special cases, for example if the enclosed command group may have forked a background process which should not be hold-
ing the lock.
-n, --nb, --nonblock
Fail (with an exit code of 1) rather than wait if the lock cannot be immediately acquired.
-w, --wait, --timeout seconds
Fail (with an exit code of 1) if the lock cannot be acquired within seconds seconds. Decimal fractional values are allowed.
-o, --close
Close the file descriptor on which the lock is held before executing command. This is useful if command spawns a child process
which should not be hold ing the lock.
-c, --command command
Pass a single command to the shell with -c.
-h, --help
Print a help message.
