The New-ScheduledTaskAction cmdlet creates an object that contains the definition of a scheduled task action. A
scheduled task action represents a command that a task executes when Task Scheduler runs the task. You can use a task action definition to register a new scheduled task or update an existing task registration. A task can have a single action or a maximum of 32 actions. When you specify multiple actions, Task Scheduler executes the actions sequentially. The Task Scheduler service controls tasks activation, and it hosts the tasks that it starts.PARAMETERS
