The easiest thing is to do 'killall -9 java' ;-)

I run Tomcat under its own account. And restart script looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
~/bin/shutdown.sh
sleep 10
killall -9 java
~/bin/startup.sh

There's no risk of killing other's people java processes, because this
script is run under tomcat user account.
