I\'m working on a monitoring system called \"Nagios\" which monitors services for UNIX and WINDOWS servers. Problem is WINDOWS services that are launched by batch files are
DOS has a wonderful command called title - would seem to fit
@echo off
title MyBatchTitle

You can run batch file as windows service to make a process name. You can set what to happen on start and on stop. You can kill the service using its PID.
C# Tutorial to create batch file as windows service.
You can't change the name of the process. If you need to distinguish between the processes then I would suggest you use their process ID rather than their name.
You can do this with following batch
echo off
set program=c:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe
set alias_name=%1
set alias_path=%~dp0
set batch_file=%2
set alias=%alias_path%%alias_name%.exe
call :find_args %*
call :make_link %program% %alias%
%alias% /C %batch_file% %args%
:find_args
set args=
shift
shift
:loop
if [%1] == [] goto :eof
set args=%args% %1
shift
goto :loop
:make_link
copy %1 %2
