I totally agree with Ceri. If the command is '/stand/sysinstall' than the application is 'sysinstall'. And, in fact, if I use 'sysinstall' at the beginning of a sentence, I still wouldn't capitalize it. I guess I'm too case-sensitive. :p I certainly agree that it should be marked up as an application.
