Running tomcat as user other than root

[Philip Juels <pj...@rics.bwh.harvard.edu>]

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find the answer....

How can I start/stop tomcat as a user other than root?  I have a 
webmaster that I'd like to give the ability to restart tomcat, but I 
don't want to give her root access to the server (RH7.3 on an intel 
platform).

Thanks,

If she starts it, she can stop it and restart it. Unless you have modified TC 
to use ports below 1000, which only worsk for root.
