I start the tomcat server being a superuser and other users without
superuser access can terminate it?

: IMO, tomcat is launched with "com.sun.launcher" by some user (i.e.
: "com.sun.launcher" _is_ tomcat). You (the other user) have permission to
: launch/stop processes, so you can stop "com.sun.launcher" (which causes TC
: to exit) though you didn't start it.
