Enable your ControlPort in your torrc (e.g. to port 9100)

Then:

telnet localhost 9100
AUTHENTICATE
SETEVENTS CIRC

(You'll need to be using Tor 0.1.1.x-alpha for this.)

You can SETEVENTS CIRC STREAM if you want to hear status on your
socks streams too.

(If you're using an OS without a command line, then I suppose you'll
have to wait until somebody builds a tool to automate this for you.)

Hope that helps,
