"r.info -r ..." will output the minimum and maximum values.

For a shell script, you can use e.g.:

	eval `r.info -r $inmap`
	r.mapcalc "$outmap = float($inmap) / $max"

For a Python script, you can use grass.script.raster_info(), e.g.:

	import grass.script as grass

	max = grass.raster_info(inmap)['max']
	grass.mapcalc("$outmap = $inmap / $max",
	              inmap = inmap, outmap = outmap, max = max)
