My org has a requirement that the files should not be owned by root and all start stops be executed by designated user account instead of root. what I have done so far is as below.
1. stopped all IIS process\instances
2. changed ownership of all the files within Websphere and InformationServer
3. running the command ./MetadataServer.sh run starts WAS server but gets stuck with the message "Waiting for Information Server initialization..."
Change in file permissions doesnt start metadata server

I usually reserve MetadataServer.sh to be run by root (e.g. by the init process), and prefer the startServer.sh and stopServer.sh scripts for non-root control of the Application Server. MetadataServer.info is, by default, owned by root with rwx------ as its permissions.
