How do I blink/control Macbook keyboard LEDs programmatically?

Hi,

I've googled for this, but no results, so I ask you guys for help.

Do you know how I can switch on/off (blink) Macbook keyboard leds (capslock,numlock) under Mac OSX (preferably Tiger).

I would like to add this feature as notifications (eg. new message received on Adium, new mail received).

I would prefer applescript, python, but if it's impossible, any code would be just fine.

I will appreciate any kind of guides.

Regards,

  Cody Brocious : @Rich: The information you added was completely irrelevant to the question at hand. If you wanted to give useful source, you should've given the actual source to the app. The reason I didn't do so is that it's very large: http://osxbook.com/book/bonus/chapter10/kbdleds/download/keyboard_leds.c

  Cody Brocious : @Kev, Erm, the article was what I posted. He just copied in the compile line and the example uses, which aren't helpful in the least. And yes, I was being a bit 'harsh', but I find it disrespectful for someone to edit a post and add information that devalues it -- it reflects poorly on the poster

  Chris Jester-Young : I agree with Cody, I really don't know what Rich was thinking there.

  Kev : @cody: apologies - looks like the @Rich answer got deleted and I shoulda looked closer at who wrote this one. Comment removed. :)

  turbofart : thanks for reminding me of this article, I have completely forgotten about it, cheers!
