Cisco 4506 – How to Detect Port Changes in Real Time

Is it possible to detect if any cable was connected/disconnected in real time via Telnet session on Cisco Catalyst 4506?

Is there a similar way to do this on the Cisco Switch? It is really useful on cases like mine where you don't know the mac or IP addresses.
