--result=somename
That is on the command line. Then you need to give two parameters. Not
a very big problem, but I would prefer one parameter. I like DRY. Less
that can go wrong.
not possible but you can access the outputfilename at the tex and lua end
What do mean with that?
just grep for outputfile in lua and mkiv files
I have now (I need to use jobfilename, because I get an error when I
use outputfilename):
    \def\outputfilename{\jobfilename -\getvariable{meta}{type}}
    \def\outputfilenametwo{\jobfilename -\getvariable{meta}{type}}
When displaying outputfilenametwo I see that it is filled with the
correct value, but the output is still written to the same file.
The following script does what I want:
    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    set -o errexit
    set -o nounset

    declare -r DEFAULT=cecil
    declare -r DIR=${HOME}/Documenten/CV
    declare -r FILE=CV-Cecil-Westerhof
    declare -r SCRIPTNAME=$(basename ${0})

    declare RESULT
    declare TYPE

    if [[ ${#} -ge 1 ]] ; then
      TYPE=${1}; shift
    else
      TYPE=${DEFAULT}
    fi
    readonly TYPE

    if [[ ${#} -ne 0 ]] ; then
        echo "USAGE: ${SCRIPTNAME} [TYPE]"
        exit 1
    fi

    cd ${DIR}
    RESULT=${FILE}
    if [[ ${TYPE} != ${DEFAULT} ]] ; then
        RESULT+=-${TYPE}
    fi
    readonly RESULT

    context --CVType=${TYPE} --result=${RESULT} CV-Cecil-Westerhof

There is only one problem. If I first generate the default one and
after that a specific one, the default one does not exist anymore. I
suppose that when --result is used, first the pdf with the same name
as the tex file is generated and then moved. A little nuisance, but I
can live with it.
