App Actions
App actions let network switching and workflow switching happen together.
Action Types
NetScene supports two kinds of app actions:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Open | Launch the specified app |
| Close | Request the specified app to quit |
When closing an app, the default behavior is normal quit. Enable force kill only when the app cannot quit normally or you explicitly need it.
Execution Stages
App actions can be arranged in two stages:
| Stage | Suitable Use |
|---|---|
| Before network switching | Close proxy, VPN, download tools, or other apps that may affect switching |
| After network switching | Open browser, meeting app, remote tools, and other apps after the network is stable |
Priority
Each app action has a priority.
Lower values run earlier. Arrange actions by dependency:
- Close apps that may affect the network.
- Switch the network.
- Open apps that depend on the target network.
Common Configurations
Office
- Before switching: close personal proxy client.
- After switching: open Slack, browser, and meeting app.
Home Proxy
- Before switching: close office VPN.
- After switching: open proxy client and browser.
Client Site
- Before switching: close sync drive and downloader.
- After switching: open debugging tools, Terminal, and browser.
Force Kill Process
Force killing a process ends the app directly and gives it no chance to save state normally.
Enable it only when:
- The app often cannot quit normally.
- The app has no important unsaved data.
- You explicitly accept the risk of abnormal exit.
Do not enable it unless necessary.
