Set Caps and Num lock from within X?
Hello,
Not sure if this is the right place to post it but..
I have a requirement to set Caps lock and/or Num lock on and off via a Cron job.
Now I have working scripts that do the job, but as soon as X starts up the jobs no longer run (well they appear to, but Caps lock and Num lock do not toggle).
Is there a way to acheive this when X is running?
The OS is a couple of versions of Fedora (cersions depend on the hardware type)
In case you are wondering why, this is a display application using browsers, there is no keyboard as such, and Caps and Num locks are used to indicate status etc.

Once I knew how to set up a unix file so that the num lock would automatically be on after booting up. How exactly is that done?
Unix has final control on the setting of the num lock from off or on to on at the end of the boot up process.
Any help will be appreciated, especially if detailed.

Heap::Elem::Num(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Heap::Elem::Num(3pm)
NAME
Heap::Elem::Num - Numeric Heap Elements
SYNOPSIS
use Heap::Elem::Num( NumElem );
use Heap::Fibonacci;
my $heap = Heap::Fibonacci->new;
my $elem;
foreach $i ( 1..100 ) {
$elem = NumElem( $i );
$heap->add( $elem );
}
while( defined( $elem = $heap->extract_top ) ) {
print "Smallest is ", $elem->val, "
";
}
DESCRIPTION
Heap::Elem::Num is used to wrap numeric values into an element that can be managed on a heap. The top of the heap will have the smallest
element still remaining. (See Heap::Elem::NumRev if you want the heap to always return the largest element.)
The details of the Elem interface are described in Heap::Elem.
The details of using a Heap interface are described in Heap.
