Information related to caps lock


can anyone tell me how can one enable capslock by using echo command. ofcourse we can glow the led by using the echo command.
its syntax is echo -e "\033[3q"

on searching i found that by using $xmodmap -e "add lock=Caps_Lock" we can enable capslock. but its not working.
