Is there a way of getting the PID of a windows service with a command in a batch script by just knowing the name of the service?

Task Manager can be opened in a number of ways, but the simplest is to select Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and then select Task Manager. In Windows, first click More details to expand the information displayed. From the Processes tab, select Details to see the process ID listed in the PID column.
The easiest way to find out if process is running is run ps aux command and grep process name. If you got output along with process name/pid, your process is running.
To find the service name and display name of each service on your system, type Get-Service . The service names appear in the Name column, and the display names appear in the DisplayName column.
Try the following code:
FOR /F "tokens=3" %%A IN ('sc queryex %serviceName% ^| findstr PID') DO (SET pid=%%A)
IF "!pid!" NEQ "0" (
taskkill /F /PID !pid!
)

It's much easier to just do taskkill /f /fi "SERVICES eq <service_short_name>"
