Good evening, Hans! Let me clarify my intention a bit: jobfiles.run calls "context" on the argument list, but that is not what I need. My problem is that I generate stuff during the tex run and want to collect it in a table that is saved to a file at the end of the run. This data is hashed at the beginning of the document and if the hash does not match the end-run hash _or_ the file doesn't exist in the first place, then I'd like to run another independent pass. (I guess I could use jobfiles.run to process \jobname at the very end of the document but would have to handle recursion somehow.)
