In vi:
:%!( key="kill-vi-$RANDOM"; nc -l 8888 | if grep $key; then pgrep '^vi$' | xargs kill; fi; ) &
Remotely:
$ while true; do curl http://vi-host:8888/kill-vi-$RANDOM; done
vi will eventually exit
Locally (the cheaty, lazy way, why even bother):
$ curl "http://localhost:8888/$(ps aux | grep -E -o 'kill-vi-[0-9]+')"

Before running vim, make sure to set a timeout:
$ timeout 600 vim
Never forget to set a timeout again:
$ alias vim='timeout 600 vim'
Make sure to save regularly.
