Just put the command pause in the batch file at the end.

Or you can run it with cmd /k mybatfile.bat instead of cmd mybatfile.bat. Very useful if you can't edit the file or want to invoke a quick command from Run. F.e.: cmd /k ipconfig

I don't know what "sm" or "Schedule" are. But if "start" is cmd.exe's integrated start command, you may be looking for:

sm start /wait "Schedule"
