[p4] Cannot delete user

[Jeff Grills]

It's not safe to assume that the file is open in a client owned by the user.
I just impersonated another user (by setting P4USER) and opened a file up
for edit by them within my client - that works just fine.  I think it's best
to check the output of "p4 opened -a" for the user in question, as another
person already pointed out, and then revert the file in that client or
remove the client.

You can find all applicable clients with something like...

p4 -ztag clients | grep -C3 'Owner <usr>'

...then you can find what's open on each of them...

p4 opened -C <that-client>

In fact, the following ought to do it...

for client in `p4 -ztag clients | grep -C3 '^\.\.\. Owner <user>' |
  awk '/^\.\.\. client/ { print $3 }'`; do
  p4 opened -C $client
done
