Script to force close sheet opened by someone else
Was wondering what script to run as root that will take as input a filename (full path) that is opened by someone else and force whoever has it opened to close it? Or maybe there is an existing command to do this? Thanks
Edit:
Meant to say file not sheet, too much Excel...

Spreadsheet::XLSX(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Spreadsheet::XLSX(3pm)
NAME
Spreadsheet::XLSX - Perl extension for reading MS Excel 2007 files;
SYNOPSIS
use Text::Iconv;
my $converter = Text::Iconv -> new ("utf-8", "windows-1251");
# Text::Iconv is not really required.
# This can be any object with the convert method. Or nothing.
use Spreadsheet::XLSX;
my $excel = Spreadsheet::XLSX -> new ('test.xlsx', $converter);
foreach my $sheet (@{$excel -> {Worksheet}}) {
printf("Sheet: %s
", $sheet->{Name});
$sheet -> {MaxRow} ||= $sheet -> {MinRow};
foreach my $row ($sheet -> {MinRow} .. $sheet -> {MaxRow}) {
$sheet -> {MaxCol} ||= $sheet -> {MinCol};
foreach my $col ($sheet -> {MinCol} .. $sheet -> {MaxCol}) {
my $cell = $sheet -> {Cells} [$row] [$col];
if ($cell) {
printf("( %s , %s ) => %s
", $row, $col, $cell -> {Val});
}
}
}
}
DESCRIPTION
This module is a (quick and dirty) emulation of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for Excel 2007 (.xlsx) file format. It supports styles and many of
Excel's quirks, but not all. It populates the classes from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for interoperability; including Workbook, Worksheet,
and Cell.
