You just reboot the computer. The problem is that when you want to close Vim on a server and so call the sysop and ask him to reboot, he gets all testy. Not a team player.

I always restart 3 times just like the sysop told me to.

It’s best to power off and then quickly flip the on/off switch a bunch of times. As a bonus, you get to stress-test your power supply!
