create a file in /etc/init.d/  call it, say numlock ...

inside it put:

#!/bin/sh
# numlock auto-on thingy

echo "Activating Numlock ..."
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6; do
/usr/bin/setleds +num < /dev/tty${i} > /dev/null
done

then create symlinks in /etc/rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d that point to this file.
the S indicating to init that we want to run this script when we change to
this runlevel, the number (99) indicating what order relative to all the other
scripts we want it run.  99 indicating last.

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6;do
		  ln -s /etc/init.d/numlock /etc/rc$1.d/S99numlock
done

Now my question, how does one do the same with X?
