enabling caps lock


can any one tell me how can i enable caps lock by using echo command. I know that by using syntax

echo -e "\033[3q"
this only turns the capslock led to glow. but the capslock is not working i.e. the words are typed in small case only.

then by using xmodmap command i.e.
syntax

xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock" or xmodmap -e "add lock =Caps_Lock"
doesn't work.
On running this it shows unable to display. plz help me in solving this prblm. Is thr any other way to do this.
