I am having trouble solving a minor issue. So for processes, I can store its name from its $PID using the following line:
$process_name=get-Process -id $PID |select -expand name
However, I want to run the process as a service. I want to complete the same operation, that is: store the service's name e.g. [service_name].exe into a variable $service_name.
The reason for this is because I want to have just one .ps1 file, that I can then turn into multiple services that uses its own .exe.config files. So that just one .ps1 file can be compiled multiple times into services such as
[service1.exe, service2.exe, service3.exe, …]
and each service uses its corresponding .exe.config file such as
[service1.exe.config, service2.exe.config, service3.exe.config, …]
Is there any way to do this with powershell?

You can get the Service Information from Processid
