I use better way to shutdown tomcat when it is not found in task manager.

1) Download TCPView(only 285kb) from following link.

2) Extract folder and start TCPView application.

3) Right click on java.exe and select End Process option.

this would stop your tomcat easily.. This tool is very useful in monitoring port usage.

NOTE: Running TOMCATPATH/bin/shutdown.bat may not shutdown Tomcat when it contains some demon or unmanaged threads. In such cases TCPView works fine without any issues.
