Hello Mojca,

that's why a stub is useful.

Indeed, it works only, if you don't move it...

My idea was ---to simplify my installation script--- only to add execution
bits to .../stubs/unix/* and add .../stubs/unix to the PATH.

But texmfstart seems to be an exception, I'll just keep my symbolic link.

It works for me, if I put .../scripts/context/lua/context into my PATH and
add the --run option to the mtxrun call. And $@ should be "$@" of course.

(This stub is fine, because it means
"context file" = the future and "texexec file" = the past.)

Cheers, Peter
