Closing the DOS prompt shuts down ServiceDesk

Closing the DOS prompt shuts down ServiceDesk

Is it normal behaviour to start ServiceDesk Plus by executing run.bat from the comman line and then having to keep that user logged on to the server and keep the DOS prompt open.
 
If I close the DOS prompt, ServiceDesk shuts down.
 
Please tell me how to start SDP without having to keep the user logged on and DOS prompt open.
 
SDP version we're using is 7.6.0 Build 7611.
