If you use Linux, try the following steps.

1. List Tomcat processes (e.g., ps aux | grep catalina)
2. Locate the strings that look like this: myname 2244 5.5 0.3 57020937 2110741 ? Sl Oct03 5160:01 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-<...>/bin/java <...> org.apache.catalina.startup.Bootstrap start
3. Copy-paste everything between /usr/lib/jvm/<...> and <...>.Bootstrap
4. Add stop at the end of your command and run it

Essentially, you would take the very same command that was used by Eclipse to start Tomcat and modify the last argument to stop Tomcat.
