Got my script all set up (basically a while : do wget litecoin.conf && litecoind ; sleep 59 ; done with the tenebrix miner fired up in the other window ) so I hope to be the first. =)
If I can get to the keyboard around the time it's slated to go live I'll bump down the sleeping.
Me too

although mine is a lot more overly complicated

Here is my batch script:
:downloadFile
sleep 5
"c:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe"
http://litecoin.org/downloads/litecoin.conf -O %appdata%\Litecoin\litecoin.conf
if errorlevel 1 goto downloadFile
cd litecoin-windows-daemon-10-11-2011
start litecoind
cd ..\litecoin-windows-miner-10-10-2011
sleep 5
call "mine 8 threads.bat"
Noe - I had to change the default user/pass in the "mine X threads.bat" from user/pass to miner/litecoin - those are what appear in the sample file.
Going to sleep now, hope it works.
Here's to a successful launch, and kudos to coblee and everyone else who helped make this launch happen - seems very promising so far.
