Show Debug Files Automatically

Any thoughts on adding the paypal log files to this call out?

Doesn't make sense. Paypal logs are not necessarily indicative of a problem. Error logs are always indicative of a problem.

I don't want to make it seem like we are at odds here.
We would not have found a serious problem on one site without seeing a paypal log. We put a fake debug on the site for testing the admin notification. The customer reported no problems prior to the mod's installation. We were installing the display logs since the older sitemonitor was not doing the job for us. Imagine our surprise when our first click resulted in paypal errors. Yes, most were from invalid or incorrectly entered data. BUT, recent errors led us to discover that the customer's site had been blacklisted for spam and was blocked by AT&T, AOL, etc. Just the fact that the paypal transaction was passing through an AT&T router caused them to block the transaction from reaching PayPal. Thus the Error 28.
Does this happen a lot? Maybe not. Do we need to know about it immediately? I think so. Especially those on shared servers can be vulnerable to a block without knowing it has happened. A flag showing when they open the admin might get us involved before the situation gets too out of hand.
We'd just rather sift through a few to not miss the one important one. I hope someday to have the display also e-mail a notification to us so that we can stay on top of things for our customers.

// steve check for and display debug logs 
$path = str_replace(DIR_FS_CATALOG,'../',DIR_FS_LOGS).'/';
    $matches = glob($path ."myDEBUG*.*");
    if (is_array($matches)) {
        foreach ($matches as $filename) {
        $messageStack->add('Debug log file exists: '.str_replace($path,DIR_FS_LOGS.'/',$filename),'warning');
        }
    } 

Having lost these lines from 2012 (v1.51) in a recent v1.56b upgrade, I revisited this thread to grab them again - still works well.

I see that there was mention in this thread of this feature being included in v1.60. I wondered, as I can't find it in v1.56, is it due for inclusion in v1.57 or has it been decided against?

1.5.7 is brand new and the decision to backport some features was just made. I suspect this one will be included, but you'll need to wait and see.
