One way would be to look at the contents of the registry. Take a look at
my blog:
http://tfl09.blogspot.com/2007/01/us...owershell.html or
http://tinyurl.com/2hvj38.

To print out the services, you could do something like this:

$shive= "HKLM:\SYSTEM\currentcontrolset\Services\"
$Services=ls -path $shive
#
foreach ($s in $services) {
$sername=($s.name.split("\"))[($s.name.split("\").count-1)]
$ss= get-ItemProperty -path registry::$s -erroraction silentlycontinue
if ($ss) {"Servce: $sername, startuptype= $($ss.start)"}
}

Now- to do what you want, you'd need to get the actually running
services, and see if a service with servicename -eq $sername exists, ot
not.
