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 ...`.

[***SPAM***] Continuous preview

["H. Özoguz"]

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

Better:

  file='somefile.tex'
  while inotifywait --event modify "$file"; do
    context --batchmode "$file"
  done

When using the "evince" PDF reader on Linux, reloading the PDF is as simple
as:

  context filename.tex -- Generate for the first time
  evince filename.pdf  & -- Open the reader in the background

  context filename.tex -- The evince process automatically refreshes with
new content

Same here with 'okular' (it can be configured: so one can decide to not 
refresh on file change).

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.
