Since rt-crontool uses Getopt to parse command line arguments and it says
"action=s"           => \$action
it will only ever see one argument

You could certainly fix that (Getopt supports it) but running the
multiple actions in RT space would be hairy.
Or you could write your own custom Action that does two things.

Was there some part of the documentation that led you to believe this
would work?
