You’re right, Wolfgang, I chose the wrong sample.
The next one (AFAIK) should work on every OS:
\startluacode
local user = ""
local users = {
["ousia"] = 1,
}
function document.CheckUser()
user = os.resultof("echo ousia")
context.verbatim(user)
end
function document.UserNumber(name)
context.verbatim(users[name or user] or 0)
end
\stopluacode
\def\CheckUser {\ctxlua{document.CheckUser ()}}
\def\UserNumber{\ctxlua{document.UserNumber()}}
\starttext
This is user \CheckUser with number \UserNumber.
\stoptext

The solution from Hans is great. The only issue there is that it is much
harder to understand for me.
Since this is a minimal part in a way more complex implementation (at
least for me), I really need to use commands that I know what they do.
Pure Lua code is totally unknown to me. I don’t have any background in
programming.
This is the reason why I asked about \processaction.
Many thanks for your reply,
Pablo
