cd /etc/cron.daily
Run each of the scripts in there (e.g. ./clean.quarantine)

Edit /etc/inittab and
change the line that says
     id:5:initdefault:
so that it says
     id:3:initdefault:

and reboot your box. Theoretically you can do it without rebooting  
with the command
     telinit 3
but I don't usually trust that.
