I know of no way to get the application name from the process name;  
there are, however, several other ways to determine which application  
cooresponds to a given pid:

The lsof way: as root, do lsof -p <pid>, where pid is the process id  
you are interested in.  This will show you what ports that process is  
using, from which you can deduce the specific application instance.

The big ps way: do ps auxwww | grep -i <appname>, where appname is  
the name of your application.  This will list all your application  
instances.  Assuming you have logging enabled (if not, why not?), you  
can look in the huge command line for each application to see the  
instance number appended to the log file name, /path/to/log/appname-1  
for example.
