Another -1 on this change. I'm not sure how this would solve any perceived
security issue. The shutdown port is only accessible as local host so it
requires you are on the actual machine to even issue anything against it. On
top of that, permissions on the process itself should be set such that not just
any user on the machine can start/stop the process. Then if someone somehow
got passed this security the box, I would think there would be larger security
concerns than tomcat. Am I missing something here?
