Establish a robot process that automatically runs your routine every night. Have your routine maintain a last packed field in the table that lists the tables your code maintains. Have your process send an Email to the users whose sessions are holding files open explaining why it is important for them to close the application. Finally have your process Email a report to someone who can do something about files that have not been packed for X days. You may want to have the system track who the "forgetful" users are.
