turning line mode on/off with defun not working

I have these lines in my .emacs, but they don't work.  Why?

(defun lnon()
  "Turn line numbers on"
  (global-linum-mode t)
)

(defun lnoff()
  "Turn line numbers off"
  (global-linum-mode 0)
)

I press alt-x and then type in lnon or lnoff but it says [No Match]

I have this and it works:

; define function to shutdown emacs server instance                             
                              
(defun ked ()
  "Save buffers, Quit, and Shutdown (kill) server"
  (interactive)
   (save-some-buffers)
  (kill-emacs)
)

What is the difference?

Thanks,

-wes
