Thanks Aditja. Because I have no experience with Pearl: What to do with
this text-file of your link? Should I just copy it as text-file in the
same folder, where the contex files are stored in, or do I have to
install any pearl-interpreter first? Some instructions to get this
working here would be nice :)

Well, latexmk is also a perl script, so if you can run latexmk, you
probably have perl installed. On a unix-like system, you can just download
the script, copy it somewhere in your $PATH, make it executable (chmod +x
filename), and just run `atchange filenme ...`.

For LaTex there exists a tool, named "latexmk", which allows a "preview
continuous mode", that is to update the compiled pdf automatically. It
is really very helpful!
Because it is open-source: It is possible to addapt this tool for
context, too? Maybe one of the programmers have time for this ... :)

I don't know latexmk, but updating the pdf is a feature of the pdf
reader, not of context. If you want to re-run the compilation when
the file has changed, you can use the mechanisms your operating
system provides. Every OS has a mechanism to watch files. Here is a
Linux example
while true do
inotifywait --event modify somefile.tex; context --batchmode somefile.tex
done

I use the perl program `atchange`[1] for continous preview. For simple
documents, you can just run
atchange filename.tex "context --batch filename"
For more complicated documents (depending on multiple files and figures),
you can create a automate file (see [1] for description) and run
atchange automate

If you use the editor texworks you can maintain two side by side
windows, one for editing and one for viewing.
