How to get highest issue ID by script via cron?

[rakekniven]

Hello,

does somebody knows a way to get the highest issue ID by script?
Access to tracker or db (mysql) using admin data is no problem.

I like to create some stats about our tracking system.

Appreciating any hint, tip or idea.
Thank you.
